George Michael’s 1996 solo album ‘Older’ looks set to be celebrated with a 25th anniversary reissue due out later this year.

The classic LP, featuring the hits Jesus to a Child, Fastlove, Spinning the Wheel and more, hit the milestone on May 13, with fans taking to social media to lament the lack of a reissue and vinyl pressings.

But that could soon be rectified, as the late star’s team addressed the anniversary in a social media post and hinted there’s “something very special to come later this year”.

“Celebrating 25 years this month,” they penned in the caption of a clip, alongside a quote from George, saying “Older is my greatest moment.”

“Older is my greatest moment”. Celebrating 25 years this month. There’s also something very special to come later this year…

An accompanying video features the words: “OLDER / THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY / COMING SOON.”

Further details of the prospective repackage have yet to be confirmed.

It comes after George’s classic hit Careless Whisper was voted the most loved song of all time by Smooth Radio listeners. 

The 1984 tune, penned by Wham! stars George and Andrew Ridgeley, topped the All Time Top 500 for 2021 poll for the third consecutive year – fourth in total – following the recent fan vote. 

“We are once again bowled over to hear the amazing news that, for the third year running, Careless Whisper has been voted number one in Smooth’s All Time Top 500, in 2021,” said his sister, Yioda Panayiotou, and Chris Organ.

“To know that George’s music continues to be loved by his fans and lovelies all over the world means everything to us, as it would have done to George.”
