School mates. Band mates. Soul mates . . .
When Andrew Ridgley took George Michael, the new boy at school, under his wing, he discovered a soul mate.
In Wham! George and Me, Andrew tells the story of how they rode a rollercoaster of success around the world while making iconic records and surviving superstardom with their friendship intact. It is a memoir of love, music, the flamboyant 1980s and living in a pop hurricane.
No one else can ever tell their story - because no one else was there . . .
Forty years on from their explosion into pop music, Andrew Ridgeley tells the inside story of Wham!, his life-long friendship with George Michael and the formation of a band that changed music.

Customer Reviews
Memorably absorbing
I grew up with Wham! From lads holidays, break ups and make ups through to marriage and kids,they,George and Andrew,have always been there.
I knew and had read an awful lot over the years about their time together, but it’s still nice to get a perspective on what was going on behind the scenes and even though I believe there’s still lots to pass on,it’s a good read.Thank you Andrew
Great
Loved it, great memories as a big wham fan. ❤️
You have been loved
The depth of Andrew and George’s friendship is evident thru the entirety of this book. As a teenager who went to Wham concerts this was lovely to read and hear the other side of it all. What strikes me most as I read it was how protective Andrew was of George in life and now of his memory. What a blessing for George to have had a friend like this.
