The guitar featured in George Michael’s 1987 “Faith” video has been sold at auction by Sworders, with the sale prompting a dispute between Siobhan Bailey’s brother Gerard Bailey and her estranged husband Ian Belcher, who inherited the collection after her death in 2014.
The instrument, a Gretsch Synchromatic that Michael gave to his long‑time personal assistant Siobhan Bailey, was part of a lot of 32 items from her memorabilia. Gerard Bailey has said his sister would have been horrified by the auction being held in her name and argues the items should have remained with family, while Belcher maintains he has the legal right to sell the collection.
