## Key points

- Restored footage from George Michael’s 1988 Faith tour is heading to cinemas.
- The film draws on two Paris performances shot on 35mm.
- A short film and live album are also planned.

## Summary

In 1988, George Michael launched his first solo tour after the success of his debut album, *Faith*, and its hit singles. A newly restored concert film, assembled from footage shot at two Paris performances, will bring that stage show to cinemas later this year, offering audiences a view of a period in his career that was never captured in a widely seen concert film.

The footage was filmed on 35mm in spring 1988 and was long thought lost. Director Andy Morahan and Michael’s friend and collaborator David Austin restored it; screenings will also include a short film by Mary McCartney using unheard interview audio. A live album from the tour is also planned, and the setlist featured Seventies soul covers and Michael’s duet with Aretha Franklin, “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)”.
