'I wish Wham had played a farewell tour', says Andrew Ridgeley
The Wham journey began in September 1975, when 12-year-old Andrew volunteered to mentor a transfer student by the name of Georgios Panayiotou. They quickly bonded over their love of music and aversion to school.
"We talked about forming a band from about the age of 14 but George was adamant that it would have to be after his O-levels. There was a lot of pressure on him from his mum and dad. Wham's first single, Wham Rap!, failed to make the UK's top 100. Their second, Young Guns entered the chart at 87. Their career was hanging in the balance."One of the big turning points was getting on [children's TV show] Saturday Superstore. That propelled us to the just outside the top 40. And then, famously, someone dropped out of Top Of The Pops and we were asked to fill in. That performance was absolutely pivotal.
