He looks better today, bigger and stronger. "I was probably more stoned in those days. I was existing on a balance of Starbucks and weed," he says while rolling a joint. A bag of grass and half a dozen pills sit on the table in front of him.

What are the pills for? "Mind your own business. No, some of them are vitamin, some are anti-smoking and some are for my back." In the bad old days, he reckons he was smoking around 25 spliffs a day, and was worried he'd do permanent damage to his voice. "I probably do about seven or eight a day now." It was a relief to discover that he could sing as well as ever on the world tour. His voice sounds in great nick – more mature, a little deeper, richer. "I've not used it as regularly as a professional usually uses his voice. It must be a case of don't use it that much and it stays. I'm very proud of the live DVD."


The interview provides a fascinating and real look into the real  George Michael.
