About WHAM!

George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley formed WHAM! in 1981 and released eleven singles as WHAM!, five of them (Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Freedom, Last Christmas, I’m Your Man and The Edge Of Heaven) were British Number 1s.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Careless Whisper and Everything She Wants were chart toppers: all three were from the same album, Make It Big, which sold six million copies in America alone. 

In 1985, WHAM! became the first western group to perform in China, where two rapturously received concerts broke countless cultural barriers!

WHAM! toured the world. The Big Tour of 1984 and ‘85, comprised thirty-nine shows in support of the multi-platinum British and American Number One album - Make It Big. It took in the UK, Ireland, Japan, Australia, United States, Hong Kong and China and in the summer of 1985, their WHAMAMERICA! stadium tour played the USA.

On June 28, 1986, WHAM! The Final saw the duo finish their partnership at Wembley Stadium. The concert included performances by their friend Elton John.
