Rare footage of George Michael singing soulful cover of 'This Little Light of Mine' has resurfaced

While it has been six years since the legendary George Michael left this earth, a rare recording from 2008 is giving fans a beautiful new insight into his relationship with his band members.

Captured as he prepared to go on stage during his 25 Live Tour, the 'Careless Whisper' hitmaker can be seen warming up his vocals alongside his four female backing singers in his dressing room.

Shirley Lewis, Lucy Jules, Sharon Perry and Lory Perry joined the Wham! Star for a soulful rendition of 'This Little Light of Mine', complete with clapping, laughing and dancing.

Michael's 25 Live was an incredible 106-date world tour from 2006 to 2008, which saw him perform in stadiums across the world from Moscow and Helsinki to New York, Sydney and Abu Dhabi.
