George Michael’s guitar from the Faith video auctions for 138 thousand euros

The iconic guitar that George Michael used in the video of the famous song Faith is expected to sell for 120 thousand pounds (about 138 thousand euros).

The instrument was donated to his personal assistant, Siobhan Bailey, with whom he worked for about 20 years.

After Siobhan’s death in 2014, the guitar was inherited from her husband, Ian Belcher, who has already auctioned it, writes DailyMail.

The decision has made her family disgruntled because her brother, Gerard Bailey, claims that his sister wanted personal possessions to remain with grandchildren.

According to Gerard, Siobhan had begun preparing a will before death, but the document had not been recorded.

He has declared that his sister would oppose selling precious memories and that he would have preferred them to remain within the family.

The Gretsch Synchromatic 160 brand guitar was used by George Michael in Faith’s video clip, published in 1987 that became one of the most famous hits of his career.

The auction includes signed photos, the singer’s order for the Live Aid concert, and an route from Wham’s historic tour! China, 1985. /Telegraphy/
