British pop star George Michael is appearing in an upcoming primetime dramedy, "Eli Stone."

Jonny Lee Miller stars in the ABC series, and centers on Lee's character Eli Stone - a troubled attorney who hears and sees vision of the famed singer.

Michael’s told Extra that he didn’t hesitate to accept this part saying, “I said yes the minute I heard. They said they wanted to name each episode after a song of mine. It's all flattering to the ego, isn't it?”

Admitting he wasn’t the show’s first choice, Michael says, “Apparently, the studio didn't think I'd say yes. They wrote it again for, I think, Phil Collins.”

Not only does Michael belt out his tunes, his co-stars sing his songs as well. “I think Loretta Devine sings One More Try… Victor Garber gets to sing some of them which he says is very nerve wracking,” Michael says.
