WHAM! are to reform 20 years after they split.
George Michael, 43, has persuaded exbandmate Andrew Ridgeley to reunite for a Christmas concert at London's Wembley Arena.
They will be joined by their backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie to make it the pop event of the year. Despite George's recent problems - last week he was cautioned for possession of cannabis after being found again slumped asleep at the wheel of his car - he has been determined to persuade Andrew, also 43, to team up with him again.
A friend revealed: "George is thrilled that Andrew's agreed to perform. It was something George had thought about for a long time. He couldn't be happier and can't wait for the gig."
Don't you find it interesting that these "friends" never have any names? In most cases, these "friends" is "the journalist". In Norway, "unidentified sources" is-not-allowed. UK? Gonna make that a rule over here too? No? Didn't think so.
Having said that, it's not like Andrew, Shirlie or Pepsi are actually doing anything these days... I'm sure Andrew can take a break from the Cornwall shore and pretend to play the guitar and Shirlie can take a break from being a busy housewife to pretend to sing backing vocals alongside Pepsi for a night.
Wham! Bam! I'm still a man.
