George Michael Tour Hits The UK - BackStage Interview

2006-11-17
Speaking to Sky News at the start of UK Leg of his hugely successful 25 Live Tour George Michael has hit back at claims he is ready to quit Britain.
"If I was to quit the UK, it wouldn't be to do with the press, it would be to do with the government," Michael said.

Asked why, he said, "The government, because we're living in the most outrageously 'Big Brother' country, considering what England is supposed to be like. We're supposed to value our privacy.
"I just hate the idea that they're talking about watching us everywhere and all the time, which isn't present in other parts of Europe," he said.
