Andrew Ridgeley - Wham! George & Me

Memoir of his friendship & band-adventures with George Michael. Probably interesting mostly to people who are/were fans, but not just a cash-in: it's thoughtfully written and their friendship shines through.

". . .Michael (who died in 2016) describes Ridgeley not only as the driving force behind Wham!’s ascent, but also his beau idéal of how a pop star should look and act. 'Almost everything came from Andrew,' Michael says. . ."

". . .Yog never made it a secret of how he perceived my part in our friendship and how it related to his evolution as a young man. I had a rather more acute, advanced sense of style and aesthetics than he did."

@wortspielfettgesicht da müssen sie aber viel sammeln
seit der Veröffentlichung soll der song im schnitt jedes Jahr 10 Millionen € einspielen. warum sollen die erben von #georgemichael auf so was verzichten
wobei sich auch das gerücht nach wie vor hält, dass er wohl irgendwann die rechte an #AndrewRidgeley abgetreten haben soll, bei dem es nach #wham ja nicht ganz so gut gelaufen ist
