George Michael to guest star on 'Stone'

LOS ANGELES, March 11 (UPI) -- British pop star George Michael is to play himself in an upcoming episode of the U.S. television series "Eli Stone," ABC announced Tuesday.

Michael will appear in an episode in which a teen is expelled for playing his song "I Want Your Sex" during an abstinence education assembly at school; he will retain Eli's legal counsel on the girl's behalf, the network said.

The installment is slated to air March 27.

Starring Jonny Lee Miller, Victor Garber, Natasha Henstridge and Loretta Devine, the show is about a lawyer with an inoperable brain aneurysm who sees visions that inspire him to do extraordinary things.

Michael has previously appeared on the show as part of Stone's hallucinations.
