George Michael uncut - DCA set to show tribute to superstar singer

George Michael fans in Dundee are celebrating the news that a tribute documentary is set to be shown at the DCA.

George Michael Freedom Uncut will be premiered around the world next month.

It has promised to give a glimpse into the WHAM! singer-songwriter's personal life.

The behind-the-scenes film was narrated and co-directed by Michael before he died in 2016, and was planned for a release at the time.

It will now be seen by millions on June 22, three days before what would have been his birthday celebrations.

Michael's friend David Austin, who co-directed the film, said the star was "heavily involved and dedicated" in the production of George Michael Freedom Uncut .

Never-before-seen first-hand and archive footage looks at Michael's career and the making of his best-selling 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 .

It also showcases the relationship between Michael and his first love, Anselmo Feleppa, who died after being diagnosed with HIV in 1993 during the singer's famous lawsuit against Sony.
