Nothing Exempts George From Showing In Court

(not even touring)

George Michael has got the sobering prospect of going to court the day before his massive sold-out show at Wembley Stadium this summer.

The pop megastar must attend court on May 8, 30, 31 and June 8 relating to the charges he received for allegedly driving while unfit through drugs.

The day following the final proposed court date, Michael – real name George Panayiotu – will play the recently renovated Wembley Stadium.

District Judge Katherine Marshall rejected his request to stand trial without being present.

She said: “He is in the area because I believe he is playing at Wembley Stadium. I do not think he will have any difficulty being here on June 8.”

For everything else there’s Mastercard

Stevie Wonder is playing a gig in Tokyo…

He’s just finished playing his Seventies classic Sir Duke. The crowd is still going wild when a young Japanese man at the front says, “Stevie Wonder, you play a jazz chord, you play a jazz chord!”

So Stevie plays an F# minor on his keyboard and goes off on a jazz riff. The Japanese man says, “No Stevie Wonder, you play a jazz chord!” So Stevie tries an A and off he goes with the band on this amazing improvised moment. When he’s finished, the lad says, “No Stevie, a jazz chord, a jazz chord! “

By now old Stevie is a little confused. “What do you mean, play a jazz chord? I’ve just done 2 for you..?” he says to the fan.”But it best song of Stevie Wonder! It bery famous!” comes the reply.

“Ok, well how does it go then?”, enquires the blind musical genius.The young Japanese man clears his throat and starts to sing:

Wait for it…..

“A jazz chord…………..to say, I ruv you…”

I did not see that one coming…
