George Michael to Reunite with Wham!

George Michael is reportedly set to reunite with 80s pop group Wham! for the 30th anniversary of their debut.

According to The Daily Mirror, though Michael and Andrew Ridgeley split in 1986, the two are set to reunite for the occasion for a “one-off pop extravaganza.”

“George and Andrew have often said their Club Tropicana days are well behind them,” an inside source told the paper. “But seeing as their anniversary coincides with George releasing new material, it’s one of those ‘now or never’ moments. They probably won’t do a long tour or release new material like Take That, but they do want to commemorate the event with a big gig… and an even bigger party afterwards!”

“Things are still in the early stages but everybody is getting really excited about it,” the source added.

While Michael saw success as a solo artist post-Wham!, Ridgeley mostly stayed out of the spotlight. Music-News.com says that Michael is excited about the comeback.

“On June 29 it will be 30 years to the day that ‘Wham Rap,’ our first single, entered the charts,” he said. “To celebrate, I’m releasing my new song. I dreamed of a career as a singer/songwriter from an early age but never could I have known I’d still be here 30 years later, with much more music to give.”
