The album produced six singles, two of which - ‘Fastlove’ and the haunting ‘Jesus To A Child’ - reached #1 in the UK, with the other four peaking in the top three. The album was a huge global commercial success, going 6x platinum in the UK, as well as verified platinum in another 22 countries – an achievement which is unparalleled to this day. Older was George’s third album as a solo artist and would see him experimenting with new musical styles and expanding his artistic horizons. Hailed by critics as a triumph, it told the story of an extraordinary period in the life of the man who wrote, recorded and produced it, as he journeyed through one of the most turbulent periods of his professional and personal life. George channelled all his painful life experiences into one of the most personal, heart-felt albums he had ever written.
