George Michael has been forced to pull out of a breast cancer charity gig hosted by Geri Halliwell because of an attack of laryngitis.
Sunday's concert at the Royal Albert Hall, in support of the charity Breast Cancer Care, features the likes of chart-topper Natasha Bedingfield and Lisa Stansfield, as well as the former Spice Girl, who is patron of the charity.
Tom Jones and Jools Holland are also performing on stage together at the Tickled Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Concert, with other singers Lemar, Beverley Knight, and Ronan Keating.
George, 41, and the former Spice Girl fell out a couple of years ago but have since made up. He lost his mother to cancer several years ago and is making a donation to the charity.
His spokeswoman said: "He's devastated to miss the show that Geri has organised after all the hard work she's put into it and, in recognition of that, is going to donate £50,000 to the charity, as he's not able to be there in person."
It has also emerged that a stalker managed to get inside Michael's house and live under the floorboards for four days.
