Prior to his unforgettable performance, Alicia Keys had thrilled fans with her catalogue of classics including Fallin, If I ain't got you and Superwoman.

The star of the show - George Michael - waxed lyrical about his experience in the capital, commenting:
"Abu Dhabi is one of those cities that has grabbed the world's attention by fast becoming a must-visit destination - especially with its blossoming arts and culture scene. As someone who's never been to any of the emirates before, I was so excited to be able to experience the capital first hand and I am thrilled to have played at one of the most impressive venues in the country."


The evening provided the crowds with a breathtaking concert experience as Flash brought their cutting edge production to the venue including the biggest stage set ever brought to a UAE event, giant video screens and state-of-the-art sound.
