The clip shows Arthur sitting at a piano whilst a gentle melody plays in the background.

The singer then lifts his microphone and starts blasting out the chorus of George Michael's 'Careless Whisper' to the hushed audience.

The singer's soul voice sounds incredible singing the 1984 song and we are certain George Michael would be proud of the tribute.

"Always loved performing this", Arthur wrote in the caption accompanying the beautiful video, as his fans took to his Instagram page to praise the star's performance.
