FORMER X Factor winner Joe McElderry will honour George Michael in his brand new tour which is coming to Glasgow next year.

Freedom celebrates the music of the late singer and will be at the SEC Armadillo on Saturday, October 15.

Joe won the sixth series of ITV’s The X Factor in 2009 following his stunning duet of Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me with George Michael. A moment that has since racked up more than 7million views on YouTube and something Joe will never forget.

Joe said: "To this day I still have to pinch myself that I got to sing with George.

"It was an absolute honour and privilege and is a memory that will remain with me forever.

"To now be taking the brand-new Freedom tour on the road where I will get the chance to perform and celebrate the music of this absolute legend is just fantastic. I can’t wait.”
