In February 2003 George Michael unexpectedly recorded Don McLean's The Grave in protest against the looming Iraq war. George performed the song on numerous top rated TV shows including "Top of the Pops" and "So Graham Norton".
In response, Don issued a statement, through this website, praising George Michael's recording. Don's words were reported in the worldwide news media. Here is Don's statement:

"I am proud of George Michael for standing up for life and sanity. I am delighted that he chose a song of mine to express these feelings. We must remember that the Wizard is really a cowardly old man hiding behind a curtain with a loud microphone. It takes courage and a song to pull the curtain open and expose him.
Good Luck George-"

Don McLean, March 1st 2003.

The Grave was released on Don McLean's 1971 American Pie album but was over-shadowed by that album's title track and the equally famous 'Vincent (Starry Starry Night)'.
