George Michael Impersonator & Tribute Artist Bill Pantazis
We welcome the awesome Bill Pantazis to the show! Bill is a George Michael impersonator so convincing that many struggle to tell him apart from the original artist, an effect heightened when viewed face-to-face. In addition to their strikingly similar facial features and eyes, Pantazis and the late singer also share Greek heritage and the same Zodiac sign. Pantazis's uncanny physical resemblance is matched by his stage presence, as he has mastered George Michael's signature moves for his performances. Beyond his tribute act, Bill Pantazis also performs as a vocalist with the Luisa Marshall Band. Join us!
