George Michael's Faith

On Saturday June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasseled 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 audience 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 20 million copies of it.>
