Joe McElderry's Freedom tour sees him repay fans' Faith in him with epic George Michael show

Joe McElderry did George Michasel incredibly proud when he honoured the late and great singer with a barnstorming performance at the O2 City Hall Newcastle on Sunday night on his Freedom tour.

The South Shields star, who won X Factor an incredible 13 years ago, is currently on the road with a show packed full of hits from the back catalogue of a man whose music continues to live on after his death at the end of 20-16. Former Wham star George might have gone too soon but, thanks to his music, he will never be forgotten and Joe's Freedom concert celebrates the legend in the best possible way.

As well as being a tribute to the superb tracks George had in his locker, the Freedom tour allows Joe to showcase the fantastic vocals with captured the votes of the nation back in 2009, with his voice maturing like a fine wine, meaning often overlooked George Michael tracks like Amazing and Jesus To A Child are the perfect springboard for his talents.
