The better half of Wham returned to the concert stage last night. George Michael (after a tumultuous few months of getting caught in the bushes, again, and having his wedding called off) took the stage this weekend in his first solo concert in 15 years, singing his greatest hits to 18,000 fans packed into Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi arena.
Michael kicked off his ''25 Live'' European tour, which will travel to 28 cities before Dec. 15, with a concert Saturday night. His performance included favorites such as ''Faith,'' ''Father Figure'' and ''Too Funky.''
Even better: George Michael is the new Dixie Chicks. At the end of the first set, Michael sang his 2002 controversial anti-Bush song, ''Shoot the Dog.''
During the song, an enormous balloon depicting a cartoonish President Bush rose out of center stage, drawing whoops and yells from the crowd. But the real surprise came when Michael leaned down to unzip the balloon's trousers, and out popped a British bulldog draped with the U.K. flag. The dog was stuck to the balloon's inflated crotch, wagging its tail.
