Why Did Andrew Ridgeley Leave Wham?
Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, were members of the band Wham! They had recorded several songs together, but because George was the band’s heartthrob singer and garnered the most attention, there was a need for him to go solo. It is said that George’s signature early song was written with Andrew and was originally released as a Wham! single before being rebranded as his solo song.
With many differences from each other in 1986, the band came to an end after the success of their last song, Careless Whisper. Although they remained close friends after Wham!, they never sang together. Many people started calling Andrew gay after Wham ended. People started predicting that Andrew and Michael were in a relationship during the band period, but the news is not true, as both had partners and both seem to be happy with their partners.
After the death of George, when Andrew Ridgeley was requested to sing Wham! songs live soon, he denied it and said he would never perform their songs without George by his side. It looks like both of them regretted the decision to split Wham, as Andrew even stated it.
