George Michael: Nile Rodgers reveals he was collaborating with star TWO DAYS before death

The iconic music producer, who has and Lady Gaga to name few, said he was at the late singer’s house on December 23, before he died on Christmas Day.

Rodgers had remixed one of Michael’s songs and they were going to speak on December 25 to arrange a time for him to hear it.

Inside he learned of Michael’s death in a heart-breaking moment when he recieved a news alert on his phone.

Rodgers revealed the news when the Press Association, from the BBC Worldwide Showcase, asked who he’d like to collaborate with.

He said: “That’s a tricky question because I always go to the people that I almost work with and it didn’t work out because they passed away and that emotion is so strong.

“I was just working with George Michael. I was here on December 23, and I had come over to remix one of his songs, and while I was here working on the remix I was also doing a Chic concert that night.

“But then George Michael was doing a film, because he was planning a big comeback.

“So they had me come over to his house to shoot the film, and I still hadn’t played the demo yet because I thought it was so cool and fairly drastic, I wanted to just play it for him first.”

One hearing of Michael’s tragic death after seeing him two days previously, Rodgers said: “It was heart-breaking and he never got a chance to hear what I did, so now I’m ambivalent about the work because I wanted him to hear it, not the record company necessarily.

“Not that I have anything against them, it’s just he was such a genius and he created and produced his own work.”
