George Michael fans are celebrating after it's been announced the late WHAM! singer has a new film documentary out this summer.
George Michael Freedom Uncut will be premiered around the world and is set to give a glimpse into the late and much loved singer-songwriter's personal life.
The programme was narrated and co-directed by Michael before he died in 2016, and was planned for a release at the time.
It will now be seen by millions on June 22, three days before what would have been his birthday celebrations.
Michael's friend David Austin, who co-directed the film, said the star was "heavily involved and dedicated" in the production of George Michael Freedom Uncut .
And film bosses say it is "an incredibly special posthumous release and a poignant and moving tribute to his legacy".
David said: "The film is George's final work. Narrated by George himself, it is the complete story."
The film is a follow-up to 2017's George Michael Freedom, and has interviews with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Ricky Gervais, Liam Gallagher, James Corden, Mary J. Blige, and the supermodels who appeared in the singer's "Freedom! '90" music video: Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz, and Linda Evangelista.
Never-before-seen firsthand footage and archival footage looks at Michael's career and the making of his best-selling 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 .
It also showcases the relationship between Michael and his first love, Anselmo Feleppa, who died after being diagnosed with HIV in 1993 during the singer's famous lawsuit against Sony.
Tom Mackay, president of premium content at Sony Music Entertainment, said: "George Michael was an inspiring artist whose story deserves to be shared on the big screen globally.
"In honour of George's birthday this June, we are thrilled to be working with David Austin and our partners at Trafalgar Releasing to bring fans unprecedented access to his extraordinary life both on and off stage."
"We are proud to be bringing George Michael's final work to the big screen in this global cinema event," added Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing. "
As an artist whose music continues to resonate across generations, this event will be a fitting tribute to George's life and career, giving fans the opportunity to celebrate communally in cinemas worldwide."
