MUMBAI: Pop star George Michael’s neighbours have sought the singer’s help to combat the growing menace of knife crime in the UK.
They have asked Michael to lend his time to a school song project aimed at combating such crimes.
The singer has received pleas from residents and school officials in Highgate, North London, where he lives, asking him to support a scheme encouraging children to express themselves through music rather than fighting.
