New Year's Eve is always a problem. Party? Pub? Jools Holland's Hootenanny? George Michael this week chose to spend it near Moscow performing at a Russian billionaire's house. It is believed the $3m (£1.52m) on offer may have provided an incentive.
Details of the hour-long concert in front of 300 private guests are sketchy. The unnamed businessman is understood to own a private estate 20 miles outside Moscow. On the land is a sports hall, which the billionaire turned into a nightclub especially for the party.
