The re-release of George Michael's 'Faith' album has been postponed, his record label have announced.

The former Wham! star's 1987 debut solo album was set to be re-issused on September 27.

But in a statement, Sony said the re-mastered album had been delayed and that a new release date was “forthcoming”.

The postponement comes just days after Michael was jailed for eight weeks for crashing his car while under the influence of drugs.

On Friday, the singer was moved from Pentonville to a softer category C prison in Suffolk.
