The Faith World Tour was the supporting concert tour of George Michael's massively popular Faith album. It was choreographed by Paula Abdul.
George Michael embarked on his massive sold out world tour in 1988. In the set list of the show there were a couple of songs from the Wham! era ("Everything She Wants" and "I'm Your Man") and some standards like "Lady Marmalade" or "Play That Funky Music". In Los Angeles, George was joined on stage by Aretha Franklin for a duet on "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)". While on tour, new singles off Faith continued to be released which peaked at #1 ("One More Try", "Monkey"); another ("Kissing a Fool") peaked at #5 in the U.S., solidifying Michael's status as a superstar.
The live 'Faith' tour followed in February 1988, taking the hits package to a momentous opening date at Tokyo's Budokan Stadium, and then on to ecstatic audiences in Australia, Europe and North America. In June of the same year, George interrupted the tour to sing three songs at Wembley Stadium's Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute.
Michael also topped the Billboard Year-End of 1988 charts in the U.S. with his album Faith and single of the same title. According to RIAA, he was the top-selling artist of the year 1988 in the United States.
