Eighties superstars Wham! are set to reunite - George Michael wants his former band mate Andrew Ridgeley to join him on tour.

The two-man pop phenomenon split up in 1986 after a final performance at London's Wembley Stadium, and now they will return there as a band again.
Michael says, "I'm going to ask Andrew to perform with me at Wembley in September.

"I'm going to ask him to perform Last Christmas with me. We played the song at the end of the gigs together in Wembley. It will be lovely to do the same thing twenty years later."

I loved Wham! I'm totally serious! hahaha "Careless Whisper" got me through High School. Bring back the magic guys but leave the short shorts at home this time.

I can't wait...I always wondered what happen to Andrew!

I was a HUGE Wham fan when I was a teenager - I was quite obsessed with Andrew Ridgeley -so yes will be interesting to see what happened to him. I do know he lives with Keran the dark haired chick from bananarama - and last picture I saw of him his hair was almost completely grey - he looked so old!

^^Oooh, me too! I loved me some Andrew Ridgeley! They were the first concert I ever went to. Well, unless you count going to see Neil Diamond with my mom. I still have my Fantastic and Make It Big albums in a box somewhere.

OMG! So true!

OK, confession: That friggin' video, "Careless Whisper" threw me off to thinking that George Michael was actually straight.

Uh...HELLO! But in high school, I was purdy sheltered.

^^^ Okay, I have a confession too. It took me years and years to believe that George was gay. It was total denial on my part. I was certain George was speaking to me in the Careless Whisper video and I always got mad at the trampy chic who got into the Camaro or whatever car it was. Why'd you cheat George, why? How about the Club Tropicana video? I could not believe he and Andrew were pilots-oh no- but straight, of course! Bought into that lie. Oh, and I grew up really sheltered too. Ah, I loved my little fantasyland.

And tictac, you saw them in person.

I kiss the ground you walk on. Bless you!
