George Michael’s Faith “Rockers Revenge BSA” Leather Jacket Auction

George Michael’s Faith “Rockers Revenge” leather jacket

The iconic Rockers Revenge leather jacket from George Michael’s Faith video is up for auction. It will be auctioned off on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 3 p.m. (BST) / 10 a.m. (EDT) / 7 a.m. (PDT).

The starting bid will be £30,000, and it is estimated to be sold for £60,000 – £120,000.

According to the auction site:

Photo-matching confirms the jacket’s use both in the “Faith” music video and during live performances on the accompanying tour. Some shapes and wear patterns on the red “BSA” logo, small holes on the painted leaf detailing, and placement of studs on the reverse correspond to an image from the “Faith” video shoot, taken by Chris Cuffaro. Subsequent paint loss on the red lettering – now visible on the jacket today as larger worn areas – can be matched to a later Cuffaro photograph showing Michael mid-performance during the tour. Creasing on the lapel and distinctive traits in the leather near one of the chest zips align with additional Cuffaro images from the shoot, as well as a photograph taken by Michael Putland of Michael backstage during the Japanese/Australasian leg of the tour in February-March 1988. Two of Cuffaro’s prints showing this jacket are also included in this sale (see Lot 127).

Propstore Auction

Also, George Michael’s Faith leather jacket is the featured image on the cover of the auction catalog, available for £30.

Shirley Lewis Adds Backing Vocals to Restored Faith Tour Film

Shirley Lewis’ Passion (#ad)

In the history of George Michael, Shirley Lewis first entered our Lovelies world as a backing vocalist at Wham!’s The Final concert in 1986.

Working with George Michael for 30 years and now touring as part of The George Michael Singers, Shirley’s bright, smiling face and iconic backing vocals were missing during The Faith Tour in 1988. At the time, she was promoting her own solo work and was unable to tour with George Michael. (You can learn more about Shirley’s time with George Michael on the Spinning the Wheel Podcast.)

The talented Lynn Mabry, known for her work with Parliament-Funkadelic and as co-founder of The Brides of Funkenstein, was the back up singer on The Faith Tour.

Shirley recently posted in an Instagram post from The Faith Tour account some news about her contributions to the restored Faith Tour film.

Back in 1987 I sang the backing vocals on George’s album Faith, And was the only backing vocalist on this Iconic album 🙌

When the tour came around my record company wouldn’t let me go 😢 something I’ve always regretted

Fast forward to 2025 and I was invited back to add the backing vocals to the restored Faith tour film. What an honour to complete my faith story!

Sometimes life gives you the chance to finish the song. 🎙️✨ Thank you George ❤️
Thank you GME

Shirley Lewis

From what Shirley had previously said on the Spinning the Wheel Podcast, I had commented that “George wanted you on the Faith Tour, and it looks like he got his wish now.”

Shirley responded:

@georgemichaelyogworld I do believe it is his gift to me for sure 😢

George Michael: The Faith Tour – Film and Live Album in 2026

George Michael’s Faith CD – 2026 release (#ad)

Let’s take a trip back to 1988 when George Michael was the biggest star on the planet and the Faith Tour was “THE” concert everyone wanted to go to. I know … I stood in line for hours with my dad hoping to get tickets.

If you missed it or just want to relive those wonderful days as a George Michael fan, you’re in luck.

George Michael: The Faith Tour will be released to the big screen this year. As if that wasn’t enough, a live album with 18 previously unheard songs will also be available.

Here is the announcement from The Faith Tour account on Instagram:

“You’ve gotta have FAITH”… We’re incredibly excited to announce that ‘George Michael: The Faith Tour’ is coming to the big screen worldwide later this year! 👀 Shot in Paris in 1988, the never-before-seen, long lost film has been restored and remastered and will be introduced by an original short film from Mary McCartney.

“Wait for somethin’ more”… ‘The Faith Tour’, a previously unheard 18-track live album is also coming alongside the theatrical release 🎶 More info coming soon.

Official George Michael The Faith Tour Instagram Account

Andy Morahan and David Austin directed the film comprised of footage from a 14-camera shoot on 35mm over two nights. George Michael: The Faith Tour was filmed when the Faith Tour visited the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 1988.

The film’s distributor and release dates are unknown at this time. When it is released in theaters, the film will be preceded by an original short film by Mary McCartney to discuss the tour’s cultural significance. The short film will also include an unheard interview of George Michael, as well as unseen images by photographer Herb Ritts and behind-the-scenes footage of the “Faith” music video.

The live album, entitled The Faith Tour, will include 18-tracks, featuring previously unreleased recordings from George Michael’s Wham! and solo catalogues. It will be available from George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment.

New George Michael Instagram Account: The Faith Tour

George Michael’s Faith CD – 2026 release (#ad)

It looks like we may be getting more than just the reissue of George Michael’s Faith on vinyl and CD in 2026.

The George Michael Estate has started a new Instagram account for George Michael’s Faith Tour this week.

The account is described as:

George Michael: The Faith Tour
100 shows. 2.5 million fans. 5 continents. 9 months. 150,000 miles.

The account is https://www.instagram.com/thefaithtour/

I am not currently seeing any Faith Tour accounts for other social media, such as Facebook or X.

Since the anniversary of Faith’s release was in November of 1987 in the U.S., it seems an interesting choice to release the vinyl and CD 39 years after the release date instead of in 2027 for the 40th anniversary.

Another interesting choice is the creation of this new Instagram account for the Faith tour. Is this just the start of a celebration for the 40th anniversary of George Michael’s chart-busting, #1 Faith album?

The Faith tour account seems to be posting 2 posts a day and also appears to be posting from the first dates of the Faith tour in Japan in 1987.

I remember watching some of these videos from MTV when the Faith Tour first started in Japan. What do you remember about the Faith Tour?
