George Michael paid record £1.5m

Singer George Michael pocketed £1.5 million for performing at a Russian billionaire's New Year's Eve bash.

The unnamed businessman paid for Michael to entertain his 300 guests with an hour-long concert.

The lavish party took place on his private estate 20 miles outside Moscow, the star's spokeswoman said.

He was flown out to the billionaire's mansion with his 20-strong entourage of band and backing singers.

An insider said: "The businessman contacted George directly and asked him to perform. He has a vast private estate just outside Moscow and had turned his sports hall into a nightclub especially for the party.

"It was a fun night and George was back home in Britain by morning."
