An upcoming episode of the hit US TV show Glee will be dedicated to George Michael.

The show's cast will sing a series of the star's hits during the episode, which will form part of the second series.

The Sun reports that Michael's record label Sony plan to reissue his 1987 album 'Faith' to coincide with the epsiode.

The former Wham! singer is the latest star to feature on the programme, which tells the story of a fictional high school glee club.

Episodes featuring the music of Lady Gaga and Madonna have already aired, while Sir Paul McCartney and Coldplay have also granted access to their song library.
