He wants to end his career's first phase? That phase ended years ago, and so did his popularity.

Don't let the door hit you on your unusually swollen ass on the way out.

I think the "goodbye" is superfluous to the headline.

leperboy69: he's ghey

I hate that word to begin with, but you're using it wrong.

Dipshiat.

Huh? I thought the "Sports Machine" left TV last year.

TFA: The arena tour...
Ticketmaster: US $50.00 - US $175.00

This is why I hate comeback/reunion tours. This is George Michael we're taking about. The guy from Wham. If he never stopped touring, he would at this point be playing 1,000 seat theaters for $25 or so. I might have actually gone to see him at that price, but there's no way I'm going to pay $50 to sit in the bleachers of a basketball/hockey arena to watch (on the jumbotron) someone whose last hit song was released over 20 years ago.

When the Police reunited in 2007, I really wanted to go. That idea was quickly shot down by the fact they were quickly selling out 3-night residencies in baseball stadiums for about $150 per seat! For most of their original tours, they were playing rock clubs with 500-person capacities. Blegh.

/I want to make clear that by comparing The Police with George Michael, I don't mean to imply they have anywhere near the same level of talent. So please don't flame me for that

What's the difference between a gay mormon and a straight mormon?

Six root beers.

I went to see The Police in Adelaide. The missus and I had whites of the eyes seats, which cost $250 each. Best $500 I ever spent.

I couldn't bring myself to pay anywhere near that much for a single concert. Unless I'm going to a festival, $35 is pretty much my limit. I love The Police and all, but I could go see 15 other concerts for that price.

On the positive side, if their reunion tour wasn't as big and popular as it is, they probably wouldn't have come to Australia at all. So I guess I'm kind of spoiled, living in the northeastern US.
