George Michael was planning a secret project shortly before he died. The star opened up to Desert Island Discs presenter Kirsty Young while they worked on his documentary Freedom in 2016. “He was optimistic and in the moment.” Young revealed at the TRIC Awards.
“He said to me that he felt the thing that he would do next would be his best thing ever. When I spoke to George, the future was in front of him. There was something on the horizon. He was talking about something new.”
However, the singer kept his cards close to his chest, right until the end. “George hinted about new projects, but refused to give details,” she added. “I think he was starting to write again. I presumed it was an album, but he did not specify about that or talk about touring.”
