GEORGE MICHAEL: THE FAITH TOUR Live Album to Release Alongside Film
The concert recording captures hits including Faith, Father Figure, One More Try and Monkey.
George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment announced that on 6 November 2026 they will release THE FAITH TOUR, an 18-track live album of previously unreleased recordings featuring hits from George Michael's WHAM! and solo catalogues.
Recorded during the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy stop on the European leg of the Faith Tour in 1988, the superstar's first solo concert tour, the album showcases George's vocal talent and skill as a live performer. THE FAITH TOUR album is being presented as both a time capsule from a defining era of pop music and a celebration of one of the most frequently referenced concert tours of all time.
THE FAITH TOUR includes live renditions of all the classic hit singles from Faith, including 'Faith', 'Father Figure', 'One More Try', and 'Monkey'.
Faith the album was written, arranged, produced, and performed almost entirely by George Michael and marked the emergence of a new type of pop icon, an artist capable of blending soul, R&B, and rock into a sleek, emotionally driven, and singular sound which appealed to fans of all ages in all corners of the globe. Following the album's release, George became the only British male solo artist ever to achieve four U.S. number-one singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100, a record that has yet to be matched.
Also featured on the track listing are a number of previously unreleased cover versions of songs, including performances of Stevie Wonder's 'Love's in Need of Love Today' and Labelle's 'Lady Marmalade.'
The star also included two of the most beloved WHAM! hits on the setlist, 'Everything She Wants' and 'I'm Your Man', nodding to his journey to Faith and marking the completion of the 24-year-old's transition from being an adored member of the band to a bona fide solo pop superstar.
Comprising 109 concerts across 16 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, the tour is regarded as one of the defining pop tours of the late 1980s and a seminal moment in George's ascent to the upper echelon of pop stardom.
The live album was mixed by Chris Porter and David Austin and mastered by John Webber.
