The singer, who three years ago said he would never tour again, has now hinted that he may hit the road once more.

George Michael posted the message over his Twitter: "Face it paps, hacks and haters... The album will sell great, the tour will sell out, and the fans remain some of the loyalest in the world."

Back in 2008 the singer, said in an interview with the BBC: "I think this is going to be about as good as I can possibly be - I think this tour is the best tour I have ever done and I think I want to stop doing it while it is at its absolute peak."
