GEORGE MICHAEL has made his new single 'Amazing' available as a download from his website for fans who can't wait for the official release date to be announced. The single has already been released to radio and 'Patience', George Michael's first album of original songs since 1996's 'Older', is due for release in March.

The PET SHOP BOYS will release a new single 'Flamboyant' towards the end of March (29-3-2004). The track has been remixed for the single release and will also be accompanied by dance mixes and a video. There will be dance mixes by Scissor Sisters, DJ Hell and Tomcraft. The Pet Shop Boys have also announced that they will be playing a very special exclusive show in London in March.

A tune with a title that sums up the Pet Shop Boys sound so very aptly would have to be one of their best singles to date. Flamboyant is camp, joyous pop and a return to the sort of form that made Chris Lowe and Neil Tennant household names.

Taken from their recent PopArt retrospective Flamboyant confirms the Pet Shop Boys as one of the most innovative and downright brilliant pop acts of the past twenty years.
