Sombr wore George Michael’s actual leather jacket from the Faith Tour and a 1989 Diet Coke commercial while performing a tribute at the Sept. 27, 2026, VMAs in Los Angeles. Teddy Swims, RAYE, Adam Lambert, MEEK, MNEK and Saint Harison also took part.
The tribute opened with Sombr singing “Faith” and “Father Figure.” RAYE performed “I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)” with Michael’s vocals woven in, followed by Teddy Swims on “Careless Whisper.” The performance came 10 years after Michael died at age 53.
A live album, “George Michael: The Faith Tour,” is scheduled for November, and a feature-length film with the same title is set to hit theaters in December.
