The diva

George Michael is the ultimate diva. His being gay has nothing to do with this (though it certainly lends to the aura). Consider the facts:
* Alicia Keys opens for him.
* His humongous band – two drummers, six guitarists, et al, is all crammed at the back of the stage on two tiers, leaving a 20ftx30ft space on stage only for him, and sometimes, his six back up singers.
* He takes a break during the show for 20 minutes (a live clock on stage does a countdown), after taking an hour to start in the first place.
