George Michael’s Freedom! ’90 was released 30 years ago

GM Infonet

In January 1990 the cover of British Vogue featured a now-iconic image of models Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz, Christy Turlington, and Cindy Crawford that was shot by Peter Lindbergh. George asked the five supermodels to take part in the video for the song directed by David Fincher. Thirty years after it’s release as a single Freedom ’90 remains  an anthem for anyone who wants to break free of their past and take a different path. The 4K remastered official video for “Freedom! ’90” premiered today on George’s Official Youtube Channel.

‘Imagine’ Piano at Liverpool’s Strawberry Field exhibition

John Lennon’s piano used to compose and record his 1971 solo hit, ‘Imagine’, is on display at Liverpool’s Strawberry Field exhibition in honour of the late Beatles legend’s 80th birthday (09.10.20), courtesy of George Michael’s estate.

  • “Bringing John’s piano to Strawberry Field for the first time to mark what would have been his 80th birthday is a wonderful gesture – one that will bring joy to the hundreds of thousands of people who visit Liverpool every year to get closer to the history of The Beatles and John’s legacy. Strawberry Field played a pivotal role in the John’s childhood as one of the first places that sparked his young imagination whilst living on nearby Menlove Avenue. It’s fitting therefore that this piano should find a new home here where The Salvation Army continues to do such good work with young adults with learning difficulties.

  • It’s not the type of thing that should be in storage somewhere or being protected, it should be seen by people.

    - When he purchased the instrument -

  • The George Michael Estate is proud to be associated with Strawberry Field and the work that the Salvation Army do at the centre to help young adults with learning difficulties acquire the skills and experience they so badly need to get employment which work is even more vital today than it was when the Centre first opened . Estate representatives have visited and been shown around the centre and the site, met with the staff and learned a great deal about the work which is done there and did not hesitate to agree to the loan of the iconic John Lennon ‘Imagine’ piano as part of the permanent exhibition they have on site especially as this is just the type of association that George would have wanted for this unique piece . We know that the piano will be a source of hope and inspiration to all who come to see it and to the young people who attend Strawberry Field not only during these difficult times but for many years to come in the same way that it inspired George since he bought it some 20 years ago.
