On Saturday June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his BSA Rockers Revenge leather jacket, walked out of London's Wembley Stadium and cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He'd just disposed of the band Wham! 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 friends and your audience and no one's caught up yet. It's about pouring that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition into a record - and then selling 20 million copies of it.
