George Michael loses equipment in fire at Russian venue

Musical equipment belonging to George Michael was destroyed in a fire at a Russian venue on New Year's Eve, after his performance at a party hosted by Vladimir Potanin.

Various bits of musical equipment belonging to George Michael has been destroyed after a fire at a venue in Russia on News Year's Eve. The fire followed a performance by Michael at the venue as part of a New Years party being held by Russian billionaire Vladimir Potanin. It is unclear how much equipment Michael had left in the venue prior to the fire or what that equipment cost. How he will ever be able to afford to replace the equipment, given that he was only paid £1.5 million to play at Potanin's party, is anyone's guess.
