A new documentary titled George Michael Freedom Uncut, narrated by the late Wham! singer before he died at 53 in 2016 and co-directed alongside his friend David Austin, will hit theaters worldwide this summer and provide fans with a glimpse into Michael's personal life, including his family and romances. The film — set for a June 22 release, three days before the musician's birthday — serves as a follow-up to Showtime's George Michael Freedom, which premiered in 2017. "The film is George's final work," Austin said in a press statement. "Narrated by George himself, it is the complete story." George Michael.

Blige, Jean Paul Gaultier, James Corden and Tony Bennett as well as Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz and Linda Evangelista — the supermodels who appeared in Michael's iconic "Freedom! '90" music video — George Michael Freedom Uncut will explore the singer's cultural impact and follow his career up until the era that surrounded his best-selling 1990 album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1. Through never-before-seen firsthand footage, the documentary will let viewers into the making of Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 as well as Michael's subsequent lawsuit against Sony Music based on accusations the record label wasn't offering its full support to the "Outside" singer's career. Also explored in the film is the musician's relationship with his first love Anselmo Feleppa, who was diagnosed with HIV and died of AIDS-related symptoms amid Michael's Sony Music legal battle in 1993.
