About this listen
READ BY ANDREW RIDGELEY
For the first time, Andrew Ridgeley - one half of one of the most famous bands in the world - tells the inside story of Wham! and his life-long friendship with George Michael.
It is 1975, Watford, and two teenagers, George and Andrew, meet for the first time. Bonding over their love for singing, song writing and pop music, together they set out to follow an impossible dream.
They didn't know it then, but they were taking their first steps towards forming Wham!, a band that was to become one of the biggest in the world.
Wham! were the soundtrack of the 80s; whether it was choosing life or Live Aid, the decade of flamboyance and fun was a party that seemed like it would never end. But it had to stop somewhere - and that was in front of tens of thousands of tearful fans at Wembley Stadium in 1986.
In Wham! George and Me, Andrew Ridgeley tells the story of Wham! - from the day they met to that iconic final concert. For the first time, he reveals what it was like being at the centre of a pop hurricane and talks of his love for and friendship with George. It's a story only he can tell.

So young and yet they were discovered
Amazing how they were so young
And they made it.
Short time together as they're time was up. but of course remain good friends

I have, very much, been loved.
As a Gen X'er, Wham was a small part of my 80's musical collage. I didnt ride their train at the time but do still love the music they created together.
George however, hit me hard with Older. That album is one of my top 10 favourite albums of all time, up there with Jeff Buckley's Grace.
I found this book thanks to YouTube and their algorithm that foisted the video of Andrew revisting his childhood home on me one night when TV was bollocks.
I was so taken by him in that video that I searched for and found this book, a book that has been utterly enjoyable and a pleasure to listen to.
I do believe I will search out a signed copy.
Thanks Andrew.
