While many musicians have shared their take on the legendary George Michael's iconic song, 'Careless Whisper,' we think we might have just found our favourite rendition...

Performing live on stage, James Arthur wowed fans with an utterly beautiful stripped-back piano cover of the 1984 hit.

The 34-year-old's deep soul voice sounds incredible and we are sure the late pop star would be proud of the tribute.

"Always loved performing this", James wrote in the caption accompanying the beautiful video.

'Careless Whisper' reached number one in nearly 25 countries, selling about six million copies worldwide - two million of them in the United States.

George Michael died in 2016 of a heart attack and liver complications, aged 53.
