The guitar famously wielded by George Michael in the music video for his 1987 hit "Faith" is anticipated to fetch £100,000 at an upcoming auction.

The instrument is among a significant collection being offered by Sworders Auction House on October 29, belonging to Michael's late personal assistant, Siobhan Bailey. The archive also features itineraries from Wham! and George Michael tours, including a notable 1985 visit to China, estimated between £300 and £600. A gold disc commemorating 500,000 UK sales of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" is expected to achieve at least £200.
Overall, the complete collection is projected to surpass £200,000. This sale presents a unique opportunity for fans worldwide to acquire items embodying the spirit of the beloved artist. Previously, the leather jacket Michael wore in the "Faith" video sold for £176,400, and his sunglasses from the 1988 Faith Tour are set to be auctioned soon, with an estimated value of at least £15,000.
