In recent years George has not toured. He "loves to sing, hates to tour". After the Faith tour George realized that touring is a very lonely affair. He feels that with all the things that have happened the last years he is not stable enough to go through it any time soon. He prefers to concentrate on making music and not tour, because it might cost him his sanity.

In April 99 George performed at the Royal Albert Hall at the Linda McCartney tribute concert Here, There and Everywhere. He performed three songs. The Beatles songs The Long And Winding Road and Elenor Rigby and his own Faith. All proceeds went to charities who concern themselves with animal rigths.

In October 99 George performed at NetAid. Three concerts took place at the same time in London, New York and Geneva. The three concerts were broadcast online by the NetAid organisation and people were asked to make donations online.George was in the London show at Wembley Stadium. He did Fast Love, Father Figure, Freedom and Brother Can You Spare A Dime, which was a premiere that night. He told the audience that the was very pleased and honored to be there. He thanked organiser Chrissie Hynde for inviting him. He spoke of his respect for Linda and Paul's relationship and he said that it was also special for him to be there because his mother had lost the same fight as Linda (both died of cancer).

In November 99 George sang at the Stonewall concert. Stonewall is a gay rights organisation, named after the Stonewall riots. George wanted to do three songs, but was allowed only two. My Baby Just Cares For Me and I Remember You, which he dedicated to Anselmo and to all who have lost someone over the years. As a special surprise the audience was given a free CD, called an early Christmas Present from George. The audience was supposed to kindly leave a donation for the good cause. On this CD are the two performed songs and Secret Love.
