More Tidbits on MB's Australian Tour
"UK comedian DAVE GORMAN, Nobel Prize-winner PROFESSOR SCHMIDT, Winners and Losers actor VIRGINIA GAY and Grammy Award-winning singer MICHAEL BOLTON phones it in. HUSKY will perform a Gordon St Classic and THE TEMPER TRAP will close the show with their latest single."
Have located above information on internet concerning an upcoming show on ABC 1 in Australia with Adam Hills and as you can see our very own MB is going to be taking part and he will be on Episode 10 of the show which airs on Wednesday, 11th April at 8.30 p.m. and by the looks of things too, unless it can be recorded by anyone, there is the facility to get a link after the show has been broadcast....just to hope, unlike so many UK shows, it plays outside of Australia....LOL. Hope anyone who can tune in and listen too takes advantage of and enjoys show !!! :)

Hey Pilar, I was finally able to listen to your video, thanks for the link sweetie! I realized that right after the initial video, they follow it up right away with the 2 part interview from last year so that was nice. Thanks again Pilar for sharing, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Found this article in Adelaide Now which was published on 14th April and although not directly about Michael but rather Orianthi Michael is mentioned, as is concert in Adelaide and fact Orianthi is appearing with him, so thought worth bringing over........
"SHE has played with Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper and Santana, but, for Adelaide's Orianthi Panagaris, school was her toughest gig.
The guitar virtuoso, 27, who returns to Adelaide for a performance with Michael Bolton, opened up to The Advertiser about her constant bullying at school.
Panagaris said the mean kids never crushed her dreams of becoming the most talked about female guitarist on the planet.
"It was definitely difficult going through school," she said. "I was bullied a lot about being a guitar player, being into different music and being a bit of a hippie. So I left school when I was 15 and did home schooling."
At age 15, Panagaris or "Ori" as she is known by friends and family, already had made a name for herself as one of the most promising musicians the state had produced.
Performing in cover bands around town, she was spurred by her former tormenters. "You know what, I knew what I wanted to do," she said. "I felt like school wasn't really the place for me because I wanted to be a musician and travel the world and make records.
"A lot of the guys who played guitar were pretty mean and the girls were, too. I was pushed into lockers and teased and it wasn't fun at all.
"Any kids that are going through that now - it's an awful thing. It can have such an effect on everything. It affects getting up in the morning and the whole school and learning environment. I don't think kids realise how damaging bullying can be."
Now based in Los Angeles with the world at her feet, Panagaris feels comfortable to talk about the problem and encourages those experiencing it that "it is OK to talk about it".
"I can talk about it now and let kids know who are bullied to just hang in there, keep doing what they love and not let the others affect them," she said.
Performing alongside Grammy award-winning singer Bolton on Thursday at Adelaide Festival Theatre, Panagaris's future is looking bright.
After the success of her second solo album in 2010, Believe, which came off the back of working with Michael Jackson on his This Is It tour, Panagaris, 27, now is shredding onstage alongside another iconic rocker - Alice Cooper. She pushed herself to score the gig.
"It's a blast going on tour with Alice," she said. "We're touring around with Iron Maiden; it's a really crazy tour.
"They're such sweet people and it's really cool to be the guitar player, but for Alice I had to learn 24 of his songs in just a week.
"With a lot of these gigs, and particularly Alice, it's like throwing myself into the ocean and forcing myself to swim."
Panagaris will spend a few days in Adelaide after her tour with Bolton to catch up with family and explore her new love of strawberry picking. Then it is back to work, heading back to Los Angeles to finish her follow-up album to Believe, set for release this year.
"It's going to be a bit rockier," Panagaris said. "I'm excited - it's definitely a lot heavier and has a bit of a Jimi Hendrix influence. It's a little crazier - almost voodoo rock blues."

Have also found this article along with photo of Michael which has been published in The Courier-Mail, Perth on 17th April (although date may seem strange remember time difference for it is 17th in Australia) and I will tell you something I don't know about these flat caps or not...... certainly it makes him look more like a golfer.....I will reserve judgement !!! LOL
"HIS YouTube mega hit with comedy act The Lonely Island exposed Michael Bolton as a movie buff and it seems he is a golf nut as well.
On the Gold Coast to open the $20 million revamped theatre at Jupiters Hotel and Casino at the weekend, the 59-year-old crooner skipped the beaches in favour of the fairways at a number of the coast's top golf courses.
Bolton, whose Jack Sparrow collaboration with The Lonely Island has already amassed more than 75 million hits on YouTube, had a single-figure handicap in recent years, but he conceded it has dropped back to 10.
So keen was Bolton to swing the clubs, he even turned out in the pouring rain on Sunday for 18 holes, before fronting up yesterday for a round with former rugby league star Mat Rogers."
For Sylvie and Robin CA the picture shows Michael sitting in a golf buggy with a view of part of the golf course at the back of him and he is all in navy blue with as I have said the flat cap.....it is very good picture and you can see too that it is either pouring of rain or has just been for there is even rainwater running down front of buggy !!

Michael has put the following comment with a picture out on FB and thought I would bring over and share as I think it is really quite funny because apart from him making new friends think the Australian accent has got to him with his new word; "unda"......I just think that is brilliant for you can somehow just hear him saying it or, at least, I can !!! LOL. Amazing how MB attracts all the wild life on these golf courses he visits !!! LOL
"Making new friends down unda (Look closer, a kangaroo!)"
Sylvie and Robin CA the picture shows Michael, surprisingly enough standing on a golf course with golf club in hand and he is dressed in the navy blue....which is favoured now.....and the "new" flat cap and he is pointing slightly to right and over shoulder and way in the background on the edge of the shrubbery and trees you can see a kangaroo standing facing toward him......there is an awful lot of captions you could put to the photo (well, I could) but none are printable here !!!!! ROFL.
