George Michael has been forced to add more dates onto his recently announced The Symphonica: The Orchestral Tour due to overwhelming demand. 

The 'Faith' star tweeted a message to his followers last night, May 16, that explained more shows had to be created:

"Hey evryone, I know pretty much everything on sale today has been snapped up, so there WILL be some extra dates going on sale tomorrow... Believe me I'm going to work my hairy greek arse off in the next few months to create something magical for you xx I really mean that people"

The new dates are available on his official website and will take him to Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester. He will also perform two additional consecutive shows at Earls Court in London on December 16 and 17.
