It is set to be released on Friday, June 23. All proceeds will go to Childline, one of George’s favourite charities.
She told showbiz reporter Dan Wootton: “The last 12 years I’d just been writing and writing and I think I was quite scared.
“I kept writing these songs and I used to play them to George. They got leaked and it didn’t feel right.
“The company said ‘start again’ and so I did. I wrote these songs, about five of them, and one of them I wrote because George had died.”
The 44-year-old continued: “I just didn’t know what to do. I’m not his immediate family. I was a fan, a friend and he had such an impact on my life. I didn’t know what to do with my feelings.
“I just wrote these lyrics down and a bit of a melody and they went ‘we want to release that’.
“And I was so scared.”
Geri, who is mother to daughter Bluebell, 11, and four-month-old Monty, also revealed that she named her son after George.
“His middle name is George,” she said.
Adding: “He was close with my mother. She used to always write him letters. He’d send her a hamper.
