Going for a song...

...to Russia to collect the big bucks:

Singer George Michael has been paid a reported £1.5m for an hour's concert at a Russian billionaire's New Year party.

The unnamed businessman paid for Michael to entertain his 300 guests on his private estate 20 miles outside Moscow, the star's spokeswoman said.

The fee is believed to have set a record for a concert in Russia.

....Other stars who have picked up big cheques include Christina Aguilera, reportedly paid £1m for performing three songs at the wedding of Russian oligarch Andrei Melnichenko in September 2005.
