KEY POINTS:
Singer George Michael will give a special concert in London next month for the nurses of Britain's National Health Service to thank them for caring for his mother who died of cancer in 1997.
The December 20 gig will mark the end of Michael's sell-out tour of Europe, which was his first for 15 years.
"Almost 10 years ago, during the last week of my mother's life, I told my friends and family that if I ever played my own concerts again I would make sure to do a free one for NHS nurses," Michael said.
"The nurses who helped my family at that time were incredible people, and I realised just how undervalued these amazing people are. And so I want to thank them with a Christmas concert. I can't wait."
