CroatiaA guitar used by George Michael in his iconic 1987 music video for the song 'Faith' is set to be auctioned, with an estimated value between £60,000 and £120,000. The Gretsch Synchromatic 160 guitar features a distinctive sunburst finish and comes in a case labeled 'Rockabilly Rebel,' reflecting the influence of 1950s rockabilly on the track. The auction includes items from the personal collection of Siobhan Bailey, Michael’s longtime personal assistant who passed away in 2014. Among other items are gold and platinum records, tour programs, private documents, and handwritten notes. The auction, organized by Sworders Auction House in collaboration with Bailey’s husband, also includes memorabilia such as a sculpture gifted by Málaga city council, concert tickets, and rare photographs. The event coincides with the tenth anniversary of Michael’s death and renewed interest in his work during the 'Faith' era.
