Back in 2011, Michael brought out his Christmas album, a collection of songs that have since come to haunt Irish households each festive season.
So it was only right and just that he mark its release by turning on the Christmas lights on Grafton Street in Dublin – and the city briefly lost its mind.
The street was literally divided in half to prepare for his arrival

As if Grafton Street wasn’t tricky enough to manoeuvre around at the best of times.
The Canadian flag was rolled out for him

Michael, you’ve been very good to us over the years

Turning on the lights, piping our houses with Christmas cheer, making nice chat with Tubs for us and the like. The least we can do for you is let you throw on an auld concert.
Maybe while you’re here you can stand for a few Confirmations and witness a few civil ceremonies? Much appreciated. Thanks Michael.
