DON'T accept imitations, international George Michael tribute artist Wayne Dilks – together with his incredible 7 piece band and backing singers – is at O2 Guildhall on Thursday.

A musical journey of 35 years of hit records from Wham to George’s solo career, the show and production are based upon the George Michael 25 live tour (also known as the 25th anniversary tour) and the show uses actual video footage from the 25 live tour displayed on a unique video wall – a first for any UK theatre show.

Join in the celebration to the life of one of the world’s most successful male artists selling over 100 million records worldwide and encompassing 11 British Number 1 singles and eight British Number 1 albums in a spell binding spectacle of his songs, including Club Tropicana, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, I’m Your Man, Faith, Careless Whisper, A Different Corner and Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

To produce a show that pays tribute to such a true musical legend and possibly the finest solo star Britain has ever produced takes huge dedication and commitment, Wayne Dilks has been performing the songs of George Michael for over 16 years and is internationally recognised as the closest in vocal, stage presence and look – so much so that he was invited to perform twice on ITV’s Stars in their eyes both in 2002 and again in the 2004 live tour shows.
