  • Andrew Ridgeley is not gay. He's married. George Michael, on the other hand, is gay and he's not ashamed to admit it. And so what if he's gay? He's still a great musician.

  • Comment removed

  • @boffinme80 Yes GM is very talented.

  • Andrew ? Where is your hair ? No No No !

  • aww, 2.24 is adorable <3

  • where can i get the full interview?

  • @zillionz The full interview? It's George Michael - A different story, it's about George xD

  • I feel bad for Andrew- him and George were buddies in school and probably never imagined that George was talented as he was-- to have people say he was riding on Georges coattails is too bad, because they were in it together whether or not George was the main force behind Whams success

  • @jimbobm123 They still keep in touch I heard.

  • great

  • They are both beautiful but George is like ... an Angel or something...His voice is like amazing..... I LOVE GEORGE!

  • George's face looks strange lately...although Andrew seems to gave aged well.

  • they're both hot

  • Andrew is my friend he is a great guy :)

  • @2606sunshineisland Really? That's so cool! I have a question, is his birthday January 4th? I always like watching Andrew, he was every bit as good looking as George.

  • @MsChemicalEngineer He was more beautiful that George!!

    

  • @brettsomers OK, I can't deny it...when they were younger I heard that Andrew was always dressed perfectly and looked great and George didn't.!!!

  • @MsChemicalEngineer

    How is that relevant?

  • @SuperSimonuk maybe it's not, but I was just saying. I could watch them both all day because they are sooooooo good looking.

  • @MsChemicalEngineer Andrew's birthday is January 26th......

  • It's obvious that both of the Wham guys are fags!

  • @goldenrod2 So? What's your point?

  • @goldenrod2 And I forgot to tell you that Andrew has a girlfriend, he lives with her for a years (she used to sing in brit pop group Bananarama).

  • @babayabadabadu you seem really defensive-i think you might be gay-but don't worry-there's NOTHING wrong wit' being gay in my opinion-i type in "fag" once on youtube and your all over me-"fag" is thrown around in closed circles-i admit i did fuck up by typin' it on youtube though-i've kicked it wit' gay guys-i respect gay/lesbian artists-"fag" is in the dictionary-look the shit up

  • @moreex2 Wham were not that big on the gay scene, hate burst your bubble but wham do not have a huge gay following, they never did

  • @SuperSimonuk your gay, right?

  • @moreex2 how is that relevant?

  • @moreex2 Andrew no he has a gf or is married.

  • george really didnt need andrew... andrew played the guitar while george sang... george could play the guitar and sing by himself.. thats probably one of the reasons they split...

  • @babayabadabadu i like WHAM-but gay guys are sometimes called "fags"-everyone knows that-even some kids know that-what's your point, kid?-you look stupid talkin' shit on youtube

  • why did they break-up?

  • @Rickyscul makes you wonder if He even needed andrew..LOL

  • they need to reunite and do a concept album about war.

  • zon,badpak,heb,ik,niet,om,mee,­te,swim,nu,pause,hierna,george­,is,symphatieker

  • zon,badpak,heb,ik,niet,om,mee,­te,swim,nu,pause,hierna

  • wham split meant only one thing...the end of andrew ridgley's career

  • The only instrument Ridgely played was the skin flute... his and Georgie boys!

  • Andrew & George need to come back and do another album/ and some concert dates..Andrew never got his just reward, I always prefered Andrew to George, but the 2 made some really great/fun music together, and those amazing ballads !!

  • so is Ridgeley a fag too or what?-sorry but you commented that maybe one day he will admit to his long term affair wit' George-what about Deon Estus?-WHAM was raw-i was in elementary school when they blew up

  • @moreex2 yes, Ridgeley is a fag too. Ditto for Deon Estus. Peace kid

  • @moreex2 No he is not. He lives with the ex-singer of the group Bananarama.

  • @xyman thanks for clearin' that up-mikester posted an incorrect comment-so what kind of work is Andrew doin' these days?-where does he live?

  • le temps passe vite !

  • Gosh I was so smitten with Andrew when I was a young girl.. He was soooo much more attractive than George!!

  • @kaaa111

    He WAS....

  • @kaaa111 i agree !!!!

  • @kaaa111 whatdya mean - he looks indian for chrissake!

  • He still got the house in Goring, by the church ?

  • I always found andrew ridgeley more attractive, for me personally, he's still very attractive. Love his bone structure and gorgeous eyes.

  • Sorry, George and his partner have a home in London and a home in Dallas. My bad.

  • I read an interview with George (who has a couple of houses in England and a house in Dallas with his partner) in People and he said they'll never do a reunion but they're still very good friends. Andrew Ridgeley lives in Cornwall.

  • la mejor cancion que escuche

    en mi vida

  • HOTTAYS ... for sure. Maybe one day Andrew will admit to his long term affair with George who I give tremendous credit for respecting Andrew's decisions.

  • I only paid attention to Wham because of Andrew because he was my first teenage crush. Even though George is talented, it was Andrew who got the teenage girls interested.

  • i started to cry when i say george crying here...

  • @SuperFluxxx same here..i teared a bit up to the end...

  • I love GM hes sexy

  • Those two women are from the Club Tropicana video. Did they have a lot to do with Wham! or something?

  • @Hallinilla5 Well, they were the background singers and so a part of Wham they still have contact, the blond one Shirley is married to Martin Kemp from Spandau Ballet ;-)

  • @Hallinilla5 Yes. They are the women vocalists. You can see them in several Wham! music videos. Club Tropicana, Wham! Rap, ect. and then in the live shows.

  • @charichio,,,, you lucky man!

  • You've got to love Ridgeley. Anybody who managed to wrangle a songwriting co-credit for 'Careless Whisper' simply because he used to make George Michael a cup of tea, as well as marrying the brunette out of Bananarama, as got my respect.

  • Protect the children so that one day they can experience a similiar joyous youthful celebration as this.

  • From 1979 in an obscure ska band, The Executive, until March 1986 when their break-up was announced must have been Andrew's best years of his life. Not to mention being a millionaire at 21 and all the doors that were open...only to be closed one after the other after he was thrown off GM's train. He was half the image, GM's moral support that allowed him to shine, and came up with a few words in Careless Whisper, period. With his modest talent, without GM at his side, he didn't stand a chance .

  • OMG, how I miss this band & I miss the 80's

  • @indrawulan Me too! :)

  • I miss Wham! My class was at a grocery store and I had extra money to get some teen mags and one of them talked about the end of Wham! That is one memory that will stay with me forever... I am glad they are still friends....

  • I PLAY GOLF WITH ANDREW RIDGELEY!

  • @carichio I play Polo with George!

  • @gardenofarcane really? andrew is such a nice guy

  • is he still a millionaire?

  • @okrabay multi and the girlfriend, not that it is important.

  • @samilliw1 why would would his GF be rich bananarama was a one hit wonder and it was 20 years ago?

  • @okrabaySince 1988,Bananarama have been listed in the Guinness World Records as the all-female group with the most chart entries.With 40+ Million record sales .Which makes them the 4th best selling girl group of all time, 1st Spice Girls =75 million ,2nd Destiny´s Child=50million, 3rd T:L:C=45million.

    Too put all this in perspective,they out sold and were more successful than Diana Ross and the Supremes

    We can presume she is minted.

  • @samilliw1 and also, unlike the supremes, bananarama actually wrote their own records, a lot of the time, the supremes recorded songs that had been recorded by other bands before them, they were like covers of covers.

  • @carichio to this day wham! is the biggest musical inspiration of my life. I play and write music because of them. could you please tell Andrew that for me?

  • @carichio LUCKY DUCK!

  • @carichio He still owes me a pint and a fiver. Have that bastard call me.

  • is that elton john wearing the pink shirt?

  • It was very clear, very quickly, that George was the 'Man Man' and and Andrew the support - but that dynamic in this relationship was very important. What chemsitry as mates they had allowing George to be so comfortable and creative.

  • Stop bullshitting you all!. It sucks!!!

  • his mum is english and his dad is english and his brother is english and his brothers friend is english and all his mates are mostly english and his dog is english and his friends dog is english and he knows someone who is half egyptian and half italian, who cares???

  • George Michael is such a humble man ....

  • I agree, I think he has had a tough time trying to be himself in an industry where image is everything He has never come across as the big "I AM" but has tried to maintain his integrity, even at personal cost

  • He really is....

    and hot!

  • George is English as was his late mother.

    George's father is a Greek Cypriot from Cyprus. He's not from Greece at all.

  • Andrew is English, his late mother was English and his father is English of Egyptian and Italian descent.

  • I used to see Andrew's dad at a shop I worked in in bushey, Albert Ridgeley....funny old chap but always respectful and pleasant...!

  • I miss them both, and would love to see them go on tour again some day. I saw them in Miami in '86 and it was the best concert I'd ever been to and I've been to many.

  • I'm not a big George Michael fan.......But the album Faith has to be in th top 25 albums of all time because it has many top 10 songs along with the mixing of Rock, soul, great vocals and just a good feel about it. Wham! was a talanted group but it had an experation, George Michael was the star, he proved he was the star and by splitting up made him the superstar he became. George Micael was bigger than Elvis in 1987. That how good that album was and still is.

  • As you can see, both are great men with big hearts. Adore them, especially GM.

  • Andrew ..what nationality is he, quite a nuff question but hey i was way young young then. He doesn't look British, he looks abit Spanish/Brazilian somethin.. but i think he has the the ladies touch compared to GM

  • He is actually half-Egyptian.

  • ohh ok..now i know where those looks comes from.. ;- ))

  • Which bit of him is Egyptian?

  • Andrew has got Italian, Arab and Egyptian roots and he is half-English too!

  • his dad is half egytian-half italian...

  • I think he's Lebonese..?

  • "Wham sucks."

    -George Michael

  • Love the dance moves GM does at 1:06.

  • What was your first clue ?

  • I've heard that Andy had a cancer, that's why he's grizzled,also brain tumor had Martin Camp from Spandau Ballet !!!!!HOROR!!!

    Yes, absolutely corect, Andy living with beautiful Karen from Bananarama,longtime love and successful marriage!!!!!

  • Andrew used to look so nice in the 80s ....

    Now he looks like a THUG on Lock stock and barrel !!!!

  • I was at the last wham show and even now it makes me sad

  • does any one have a copy of a different story?

  • Comment removed

  • i wanted to have sex with andrew for the longest. i never was interested in george at all. nothing wrong with george i just was never attracted to him. I wonder what andrew is doing now. I hear that george lives here in dallas . I have not seen him though.

  • Yes, I looked it up and wahat I found is that Andrew lives in a small British town but George comes to visit him in helicopter on occasion. They still talk on the phone every once in a while, and they had a breif reunion with Shirlie and Pepsi as well in 2006.

  • Yes, Andrew lives in WADEBRIDGE with Keren Woodward from Bananarama.....they live in a restored 16th century pink farmhouse (which Andrew took many years restoring)......

  • Thanks, I think your the one my new freidn Geprgigirl has told me to get in contact with. I have been trying to find a song written by Endrew about a freind of his that died in a motercycle accident.

    He apparently wrote it when he was in Wham but it was never released. It also had nothing to do with any of his songs on Son OF Albert. Would you know anything about it ?

  • I know Andrew wrote a song for a friend of his Steven, who had a parent who passed away......the song was praised by the music industry, and they wanted WHAM!/Andrew to release it as a single, but it wasn't for some reason......

  • Sehr interessant! Vielen Dank!

  • amazing footage of the end!!

  • love the moment when george gives andrew a hug.. a real friend ;]

  • I still remember when the two of them not to mention Shirley & Pepsi appearing on American Bandstand in the early 1980's. Even then I knew that George's career would go into orbit. What I love about George & Andrew is that the two of them as well as the "ladies" are all still good friends, and that's saying alot when you consider that alot of Acts take Pot Shots at each other in the Press. I also feel that in their own way British Artists are more "mature" than the US Artits.

  • His mother is Jewish.

  • REALLY???

  • Only part Jewish, not all Jewish !

  • No matter who the are or what they are now, as Wham they were amazing.

  • I love you George Michael!

  • WOW....deep insightful video on a legends past thank you

  • oh the days of Wham, so miss them!!!

  • I cannot believe the power of the voice that comes out of this guy.High or low he doesn't mind,just giving it all.Love him and as a gay man I am very happy he finally came out .Thank you.A straight woman.

  • his father is cypriot i believe

  • He also looks Greek but most Americans cannot tell differences in Europe. He is born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou. He is full Greek yep.

  • Just read that his mum is British with German-Jewish descent.

  • I was at that final concert 1986... oh! how the years have flown.

  • It was great that Andrew Ridgeley appeared in this. Andrew was very underrated in Wham! He made Wham! in many ways and he made George Michael as well. It's great to still see that the two of them are the best of mates.

  • OMG! What happened to Andrew Ridgeley's full head of hair? Oh my, how time had flown. He really looks middle aged now. And how George Michael had changed. And I'm not that young either. (Sigh!)

  • Still looks good. Just put the curly dark hair and nice clothes and you've got hotness again.

  • everything about wham was great, and the final still makes me cry!

  • I know that George is half greek but where is it that Andrew is half greek I read years ago he was part Eygptian or from the middle east???

  • Andrew's father was born in Alexandria, Egypt and and his mother is English

  • yah george is half greek

    and andrew is part eygption

    something like that.

  • both wrong, english mother and german or greek father.

  • it is a greek father who moved to the UK in the 1950's.

  • listen to "George Michaels interview with Kirsty Wark Pt. 1" tells all you need to know on about 2:15 on.

  • ...his father is Greek.

  • he was born in england but his parents are greek

  • they were the best duo but goerge was the gretest and he stays the best for ever

  • They were a Beautiful couple, duo. I Really love them..

  • Wham were my teenage idols. I didn't like George though. I always fancied Andrew. I always thought there was something odd about George even though I didn't understand what gay was about. His choice of girlfriends was odd for a start.

    Andrew did have surgery on his nose. I thought his nose was nice to start with, but he pretended that he was in a fight and why his nose has plasters on, but it was really flat after.

  • MI VIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • get a grip woman for facks sake

  • this was great, but it makes me cry when i see george cry at the final! love wham so much, great music and good times! george and andrew were magical! still listen to their cd's, have them all! just love blue and nothing looks the same in the light, ah.... heaven! cheers!

  • I agree, Wham was something very special ! The whole of Wham was greater then the sum of their parts, even if one of those parts was the solo career of george Michael.

    Just listen to what George has to say about Andrew's support. Wham truly represented freindship to me.

  • That was so cute when George hugged Andrew.

  • I have the album "Make it big" (vinyl)... and I gotta say Andrew always looked Italian to me.

  • He is part Italian in Ancestry. Although hailing from England, he is not all English in ancestry.

    I am not exactaly sure but I thin he is 1/4 Italain.

  • he is half egyptian from what I understood not Italian

  • ...Wrong on both accounts, half brit/half Greek.

  • why did they split.and were they partners?

  • They falt their youthfull feel they had as a band could not mature and keep their core audiance.

    It's good they split on good terms though.

  • they split because George Michael was going solo, I am assuming that this was around 1986 maybe? but when you ask were they partners are you asking "didaktus90" if they were the partners in business or the partners in a relationship more than friends? I don't think so, but I feel that if George had come out back then it would have damaged his start of his solo Career and also I personally think that Andrew would have turned his back on him then....

  • when I wrote if they were partners , i ment if theyre in a relatinship but thanx for responding my question "

    "PAYBACKiszaB2".

  • why did they split.and were they partners?

  • why did they split.and were they partners?

  • wow!! i´m very surprising that George looks better with the time and Andrew..oh my god.. lol he looks terrible! lol, but without doudt they both were very famous at wham´s time..yeah..they were gorgeous!! i love wham and of course to George!!!

  • georyama, I would not say that Andrew looks Horrible its not like he had any plastic Surgery done or anything, but you have to admit that George was always the better looking one in the group, look at the MAKE IT BIG COVER, George Looked Like a College Jock.

  • ohhh yeah!i didn´t know.. of course George always looked better.. i know that... and the time doesn´t past whit him...he looks better whit the time...aniway i really love wham´s days they were amazing and i love to George!!!..... take care bye ;)

  • Imagine how many more great hits they could have made if they were together

  • Could not agree more. Looking back I think I have better memories of WHam then George Michael solo !

  • I thought those two haven't spoken in years! IT's great to see them at least in the same room. lol

  • he was so much more than that...

  • i wished they stayed 2gether

  • Did u see at 2:22 ? When Andrew said "Thank you George", George lifted his hand as wanted to punch Andrew !LOL! and then gives him a hug! How cool huh ?

  • Now I want to cry and I don't know why

  • Nice done to release it!! WHAM! rules!!
