George Michael / The Faith Tour
Concert film and album
A concert film of George Michael’s Faith Tour will be released later this year, alongside a live album.
Shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy during the European leg of the Faith Tour in 1988, George Michael: The Faith Tour has been restored from 35mm footage assembled from a 14-camera shoot captured over two nights. It has been directed by longtime collaborators Andy Morahan and David Austin.
The film will open with an original short film by Mary McCartney, titled ‘Finding Faith’, which offers “an intimate introduction contextualising the tour’s cultural significance, through a sensitive and cinematic lens”.
George Michael: The Faith Tour will receive a worldwide theatrical release and, significantly, will be accompanied by The Faith Tour, an 18-track live album of previously unreleased recordings featuring hits from George Michael’s Wham! and solo catalogues.
There are no further details in terms of release dates at this time, but we’ll keep you posted.
