British pop singer George Michael is planning to record a song especially in honor of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in a few weeks on April 29.
In a series of posts on his Twitter page, the former Wham! frontman writes, "I have been thinking about Will and Kate…. and I’m so happy for William… the whole country is getting ready to party! Let’s have our own celebration twitter style…..
"Instead of Song of the Day, let’s pick a song I can give to you on here sometime this week. I’ll grab my piano player and bob’s your uncle… Wedding gift and bank holiday thank u to my twitter lovelies rolled into one.
"I’ll do the vocals at home… Come on boyz n girls…what song should it be? Oh and it can’t be one of mine, they are all a bit too sad….no sniggering and agreeing, you at the back!"
Michael confessed many years ago he attended a royal Christmas party at Kensington Palace, and turned down the young prince’s request for him to sing.
"I only ever met him twice, but he was such a nice kid. Actually he asked me to sing!!! He was only eight! It was a Xmas party at Kensington Palace, and believe it or not I’m too shy to sing to small numbers of people….
"So I said no…..it was excruciating, his little Xmas smile disappeared, but the only people I knew in the room were Diana and Elton (John)! So I bloody said no to the future king of my country…oh the shame."
Today (April 11) he updated his Twitter posts: “I think I’ve chosen a song for William and Kate…. Sorry, but you’ll have to wait till Friday…..! Suffice to say it’s a beautiful song and it was never a single so chances are u don’t know it….. But I think it’s a perfect fit…. It was written in the seventies by a genius…..working on the track tomorrow . Hopefully done by Thursday…”
