The album from Legacy Recordings will feature such classic hits as the title track, “Everything She Wants,” “Faith,” “Fastlove Part1,” “Freedom! ’90” and “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” as well as the previously unreleased “This is How (We Want You To Get High).”

Director Paul Feig recently told BBC News that the new song came off of an album Michael was recording before his death in 2016.

“It’s a very celebratory song, I would dare say,” he said. “And we were able to play the entire song, which is almost six minutes long, in the film.”

The film began when the acclaimed British film producer David Livingstone spoke of his love of Wham!’s iconic hit, ‘Last Christmas’ to producer and screenwriter, Emma Thompson. That conversation sowed the germ of a winning idea: to make a film inspired by ‘Last Christmas’, so in Spring 2013, Emma Thompson visited George Michael at his London home who gave her his blessing.

“The wisdom and emotional scope of George’s lyrics have always amazed me. So many feel like they were written for the movie. After I met George and experienced his compassion and understanding up close, I realised that in fact the movie was written for those lyrics.”

– Emma Thompson

Last Christmas stars Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding.

Looking out of the window here in rainy London, in our ever changing world, reminds us that it’s rare to be confident these days that anything stays constant…

However I am so happy to say, that the family, and the whole team, is so pleased to see how our request to do good deeds in Yogs’ name has continued to grow, and I often hear, and am particularly proud, of the huge amount of good works that you, his devoted fans have achieved, joining together, putting good out there into the world, helping others……whether large amounts of money raised, or small acts of kindness towards a stranger, all of it is positive, and makes us justly proud.

We are all missing him more than ever, but like to think of him, with mum , the love of his life Anselmo, and all of his lovely doggies, seeing all that great work done in his name, and the joy of you all sharing it with each other……whilst playing his music (of course) – and hopefully dancing and singing!!

All Positive & Amazing. (– dah da dah, dah da dah, dadadada dah….)

We were thrilled that this spring many of you got the chance to see and enjoy the stunning “George Michael Art Collection” (– the first ever official sanctioned event) whether in person or online.

Christies experts helped David and our team, create a warm and intelligent viewing, before the auction, and we are pleased you loved the limited chance to view his collection, and what we created, together.

The generosity of the collectors only adds to the good works that can now be continued into the future in his name.

The 2^nd (– and only other officially sanctioned by us this year) Event, will be the “Last Christmas” Movie, out in November, a project Yog was involved with in its’ initial stages, along with the super talented team of Emma Thompson and Greg Wise.

We are excited for you to see it in all its’  ‘’Christmassy Wonderfulness’’

Meanwhile, enjoy the summer – (if and when it arrives in Britain!!)

Take Care,

Melanie, Yioda, Jack & David
