George Michael has hit back at critics who criticised his performance of his new single at the London 2012 Closing Ceremony. Viewers
were confused when a live version of his hit 'Freedom' was followed
with a seemingly mimed performance of his new single, 'White Light'. The song was written about his life-threatening pneumonia in 2011.
The singer's spokesperson has now issued a statement claiming he
performed the song "George wanted to perform his new single because it
reflected everything he has been through in the last year," said a
spokesperson to The Daily Mail. "The song is a celebration of being alive because he was so close to
death last year. It was his decision to perform a song from the past and
song for the present."
The same spokesperson later added, in a statement to The Telegraph:
"He wanted to perform it for fans... it seemed quite appropriate. He
doesn't need to plug his new single - it was just nice for him to sing
it. "It's a bit of a shame that it's got this response because he was so excited to perform it."
