It feels like it’s 1988 around here with the thrill of new promotions from George Michael: The Faith Tour. Fans have been treated to two surprises: the official release of the live audio of “Father Figure” and a newly issued video clip from the Paris 1988 rushes.
These promotional releases give us yet another glimpse into the restored concert film, which will premiere on November 6 in the UK and December 11 in the US and Canada.
A New Live Audio Release: “Father Figure” from Paris, 1988
The newly released live audio of “Father Figure” captures George Michael at his most soulful and commanding. Shirley Lewis, who sang on the original “Father Figure“, has posted the following statement on Instagram:
“We’re super excited about the release of this live album đź‘Ź
“It’s been a real honour to be involved in this project and we know you’ll love it!”George Michael’s Singers –
The upcoming 18-track live album of The Faith Tour (#ad) will be released on November 6, 2026, and include the live version of “Father Figure.”
A Rare Video Clip from the Rushes: “Father Figure”
The newly released video clip offers the raw footage from the original 35mm rushes, unseen for decades. Considering how polished the video appears on the trailer, the video clip exhibits the rough condition of the original footage.
