Mel: “Alright George, what’s been happening to you in the last few months then?”
George: “Oh just hard work really. I guess a lot of my fans know my mum died recently and rather than let that kind of slow me down, I’ve tried to use it as inspiration in a way. She was incredibly proud of what I do and I think probably parents can be the only people that enjoy a career like mine more than the actual person involved. She was amazingly proud. So I think definitely she’d be proud of the way I’ve worked through it. The recording of Star People that’s been on the radio recently, that actual vocal recording I did a couple of days after she died and it was almost like my way of putting my energy into something positive”
