In 1986 George Michael joined Paul Young live on stage for the Prince's Trust Birthday Party which was held in appreciation of 10 years of successful concerts for Prince Charles' fund.
When he went on stage George gave his own explanation of why they chose this particular song: "You've heard this one already tonight but I wasn't expecting to come on and it's the only one we both know". They were joined by a band full of musicians even George would have difficulties to afford: Eric Clapton, Elton John, Phil Collins, Midge Ure, Howard Jones and many more. George made a quite nervous appearance, if it was because of Wham!'s split or the presence of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales remains to be his secret.
