Recorded with Sir Elton John, George Michael‘s cousin and former manager hopes to release a previously-unfinished duet the late singer who passed away in December of 2016.
In an effort to complete the composition called ‘This Kind Of Love,’ Georgiou is hoping to get permission to put the two stars’ vocals together.
Currently available online, the superstar singer/songwriter’s manager made a film called Trojan Souls about the making of George’s album of the same name, where he claims Elton would have done “anything” for the former Wham! singer.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper in England, Andros stated:
“Elton came in to do a song called This Kind Of Love.” “I got this incredible interview with Elton that no one has seen and I’m saving that for when the film gets snapped up by a streamer like Apple.” “Elton said on the film, ‘I will literally do anything for George. I know at 21 he got the Ivor Novello award, and no one had ever done that before. When I got the call, before anything was said, I said yes.’” “We focused on finishing that song first because we knew Elton was going to come in.” “I’ve got George singing the track and Elton singing the track so the dream is to make another track.” “I would have to ask Elton’s permission to put the vocals together. I’m sure Elton would say yes because he was blown away by the song and was a huge supporter of George.”
Not their first collaboration, in the early-199s John previously worked with Michael on a reworked version of Elton’s single ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,’ which went to #1 in the United Kingdom and #2 in the United States.
Following George’s death, Elton publicly praised the singer for being the “kindest [and] most generous man,” adding “I wanted to do a little tribute to him on the show because not only was he a good friend, but he was probably one of the most brilliant songwriters this country’s ever produced, and certainly one of the best vocalists ever. One of the best in the world …” “He was the kindest, most generous man, and did it without wanting any publicity. I’ve seen him being so kind to so many people. I’ll miss him so much for his music but more than anything for his humanity.”
