George Michael: The Faith Tour will receive a global cinema release alongside previously unheard music from his Wham! and solo discographies
A long lost film centered on George Michael’s landmark 1988 Faith tour is set for cinema release later this year, in addition to a new album of previously unheard live performances.
George Michael: The Faith Tour is being lined up for a global big screen rollout, with footage taken from a previously unseen 14 camera shoot of Michael’s performance at Paris’ Bercy Arena in 1988. A press release bills the project as a tour de force in archival film-making, celebrating Michael’s ambition and artistry at its peak.
The film will be directed by the singer’s longtime collaborators Andy Morahan and David Austin. The project comes from George Michael Entertainment and Mercury Studios, with release date and distribution details yet to be revealed.
The film will be presented alongside a new short film from photographer Mary McCartney which includes voiceover from a previously unheard Michael interview as well as behind the scenes footage of Michael’s iconic Faith video by American photographer Herb Ritts.
