Joe McElderry is returning to home turf with a show that honours a man who played a key role in the start of his music career - George Michael - as the X Factor winner brings Freedom to Newcastle this weekend.
When he was still just a teenager, South Shields singer Joe triumphed on the ITV talent show back in 2009 and got the opportunity to due with late music icon George in the final, with the pair bringing the house down with a superb rendition of Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me. Fast forward 13 years and Joe, having played at venues across the country in spring and summer with his own songs, is now earning rave reviews for his show packed full of George Michael classics.
The world was rocked by George's death in Christmas 2016 but now Joe, 31, is determined to keep his memory and his music alive with a concert performance which arrives at O2 City Hall on Sunday, October 16. Limited tickets are still available, head to Ticketmaster to get yours.
