George Michael 'Earned 50Million Pounds From Last Tour'

His figures are published...

George Michael earned almost £50million from touring between April 2006 and March 2008, it's been reported.

The total figure is said to include the money Michael commands for private gigs, which is reported to be more than £1.5million for a one hour set.

Michael's 25 Live Tour began in Barcelona in 2006 and took in venues across the world before ending at London's Earls court last August.

The singer's gigs at the venue, dubbed “the final two”, brought down the curtain on his touring career.

The singer earned a total of £48,499,893 from his last tour, according to the Daily Mail.

The newspaper says the figure includes the £1,606,856 Michael was reportedly paid to play a New Year set for a Russian nickel magnate in December 2006.

He is also believed to have earned £1,521,916 from a private show for Topshop owner Sir Phillip Green.

The singer's final earnings are not thought to include royalties from record sales and songwriting.
