George Michael’s third album ‘Older’ is set to be reissued later this year.
Originally released in 1996, the LP features the hit singles Fastlove and Jesus to a Child and proved a huge commercial hit for the singer-songwriter.
The iconic album is to be issued as a 2LP gatefold on 180g vinyl, remastered from the original tapes.

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.
