Sony Supports George Michael But Faith Reissue Postponed

From George Michael’s ‘Faith’ Reissue Postponed:

A source within Sony Music denied tabloid reports that the label was distancing itself from the star, who is no longer under contract to Sony.

“We’re very supportive of George,” said the source. “‘Faith’ was a culturally important album for Sony Music and we want to do the right thing by him. He may not be signed to us any more but he’ll remain important to us forever.”

“Faith,” initially released in 1987, was Michael’s debut album as a solo artist. It hit No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic and went on to sell a reported 20 million copies worldwide.
