On Saturday, June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasselled
leather jacket, walked out of London's Wembley Stadium and
cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He'd just
disposed of Wham!, the band he'd formed with school friend Andrew
Ridgeley when they were teenagers, and now, at 23, he knew he was
all grown up. He just needed to convince everyone else. Faith is
what happens when you've outstripped your dreams, your peers, your
friends and your fans, and no one's caught up yet. It's about
pouring all of that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition
into music that comes out confused, insecure and ambitious - and
then selling 25 million copies of it. George Michael was always
preparing for this and, in the process, he set a template for all
disaffected singers making that move. This book examines that model
and the themes that went into Faith - from engaging in politics to
crossing over to a Black audience and writing classic pop songs to
endure - and speaks to the surviving key players to tell the story
of how it was made.
