FANS of George Michael and Wham! are in for a treat next week.

The George Michael Story is coming to Hawick Town Hall.

With a live band and video screens supporting the show, including video footage of George and interviews with the man himself, The George Michael Story starts with George in the Wham! days in the early 80s and moves onto the Grammy Award-winning Faith - Michael's debut solo album.

The latter part of the show features George’s more mature hits, and touches on some of his emotional and heartfelt songs.

And the night culminates in a finale that is guaranteed to surprise the audience and have them singing along.

George sold over 115 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

He had seven number one hits in the UK Singles Chart and eight number ones on the US Billboard Hot 100.

He was well-known for his philanthropy, and in his memory, 5 percent of ticket sale profits and 20 percent of merchandise sale profits from this show will be donated to his favourite charities: ChildLine, Terrence Higgins Trust, Comic Relief, Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, Cardiomyopathy UK and Project Angel Food.

Scott Weir, area manager at Live Borders, said: "We’re really looking forward to seeing The George Michael Story performed in the Borders.

"The live music is incredible, so we know it will be a fun night and it definitely fits with Live Borders’ aim to help make communities happier.

"Hawick Town Hall is a great venue and we are excited about the diverse programme of events coming to us this year.

"I would recommend looking on our website for more information.”

The George Michael Story is performed in Hawick on Friday, July 12.

Doors open at 7pm.
