George Michael has announced that he is planning to make a new album with a “gay collective” of artists in an effort to “correct the damage” his recent behavior had caused in “letting young gay kids down.”
He told the U.K.’s NME, “For this album I’m going to be working with either gay or gay friendly artists, and it’ll be a mixture of tracks sung by me and others by young gay artists – possibly unknown ones. And I’ve lined up some really great dance producers to work on it too, so it’ll be a pretty stunning record. I’ll be 48 when the album comes out, but I have to say that gay men’s relationship with dance music probably doesn’t end at the same time as straight people’s does!”
Michael has been arrested twice for sex offenses and convicted for drug and driving violations. Last year, he spent four months in prison after crashing his car while under the influence of cannabis.
