Geri Halliwell has announced she is releasing a new single as a tribute to her late friend, singer George Michael.
The artist formerly known as Ginger Spice said “Angel in Chains” will come out on June 23, just two days before what would have been Michael’s 54th birthday.
Michael died on Christmas Day of natural causes.
“When I first heard the sad news of his passing, I was nine months pregnant with my son Monty and I was full of emotions,” Halliwell said in a statement. “I didn’t know quite what to do with my feelings so I put it in a song.”
The track was recorded with the help of former Wham! singer Shirley Lewis and Michael’s longtime guitarist Phil Palmer. Proceeds will be donated to UK counselling service Childline.
