George Michael to help fight crime

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.

Knife crime is a growing epidemic in London - but locals believe with the help of the famous actor, they can keep it off the streets in their area.

"In the interests of discouraging knife crime, a safer neighbourhood group in Highgate have written to George to ask for help. They're trying to get local children to focus on the challenges they face living in the area and express it in creative songwriting instead of violence," a local resident told 'Daily Star'.

"They've asked George to use his contacts ideally in organising a songwriting competition in schools," he added.
