. . It’s an honest but affectionate account of a remarkable duo’ Daily Express____________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.
