Last year, the late star’s estate confirmed a reissue was on the way, but were forced to delay the project due to global supply issues.

In a statement, they said: “For reasons beyond our control, due to global supply and manufacturing difficulties, it is with great regret that we have had to delay plans to mark and celebrate the 25th anniversary of Older until the first half of 2022.

“We know that you will not be disappointed with what we have planned, and in the meantime we want to thank you all for your patience and for the love and continued support for George and his music.”

The ‘Older’ reissue is due July 8 and available to pre-order.
