What i love about Andrew is that he allowed GM to realise his full potential not letting his ego get in the way, many others might have been jealous or resentful of that situation when the band was intially a 50/50 project but Andrew always supported George no matter what, even if that meant taking a step back. He did recognize that GM was the better songwriter.
I was talking to a good friend about that, we watched the wham documentary on Netflix and we were both astonished bybl Andrew's humility in the situation. I admit if it was me I'd have been jealous and resentful. Great guy Mr Ridgeley
I think this is the most beautiful and genuine friendship that existed in the music industry. And when Andrew was in his 20s he already said that he was going to retire with grace. Well, he did.
Your wrong Andrew 😊, because Wham will never age. Like you 😊and George😊, were absolutely fantastic' you were gorgeous and still are. I loved George Solo , but Wham songs are hard to beat, they are timeless and ageless. People would still love to see you guys on stage no matter what age, Wham and whole band were best in world, songs were absolutely super and hard to beat. Last Christmas for example, there is no other song that can beat that one, no matter who the artist is. That is a top no 1 forever song of all time. ❤ George was at his happiest in Wham. ❤❤
@@octane1713 He's 61 now, and this video was posted 4 years ago, and it is probably older, so he was at most 57 when it was taped. Not old. To put it in perspective, Debbie Harry, who found fame just a few years earlier in 1979, is 79 years old, and Ric Ocasek, also from the Class of 1979, would be 80 today if still living. THAT'S old. LOL
@@fmmaj9noname332 What you described is very old. 20 is young, 30 is young, 40 is somewhat young. 50 is middle aged. 60 is somewhat old. 70 is even older. 80-100 very old. Round 57. 😂
Anne Zie. Andy matured through period of times and era. He knew his time was off. He looks so professional, dress yeah like a diplomat or office guy. He had a lot of respects towards Georgie private life. He chose to.keep silence for years. Respect u Andy. So you will continue wth yr life peacefully. Aged gracefully and lord bless you wth great health
Loved both of them, in wham . I think if they stayed together, George might still be alive. But I understand George wanted to grow as a solo artist and a writer. Rip George 🙏 you will be missed
Its to bad he got left behind! Wham was very much his baby. Without him it wouldn't have been. Time just seems to ruin everything! You can never hold on to the moment it comes and goes and the your 50-60 .
Micheal was a solo artist when he was in Wham. He experienced astronomical fame and success at the same time as being in a band. I watched the Netflix movie. It was very entertainment. Micheal just got too big for Wham. And Andrew knows that. I’m glad Andrew has had the opportunity to come in on the back end and tell his story as well.
George said he wouldn't have ended Wham! when he did but he was in a relationship that just ended and he was angry and feeling sh!tty, he was striking out in his anger. He would have held off a little longer before ending the group.
Anne Zie. Perhaps Andrew knew that despite being successful George was very lonely. Beside his family his lovers other than Anselmo nvr love him all after his money and wealth. Especially Kevin Goss. If everybody watched George Michael double life Kevin Goss was not a love of his life . He met him through his record company arrangement. So he can take care look after George as he began his journey eth multiple substance or drug and alcohol abused. Made George paid him monthly $15k. Later George gone nvr left anything for him and Fayyad Fawad. He went and fight for his share end up winning 15 k pound monthly which he nvr deserved. George lied when he told the interviewer that he was a happy man wth Goss. Like his cousin said it was a convenience. Satisfy his lusts only. When he broke up eth Goss went ba ck to England 5 yrs before he died George kept himself frm.public. though he still had Andrew. The rest of his friends is keeping distance frm him because they protect their reputation. Does nt want to be seen wth a gay man. He had no children and eventually he died alone and was buried beside his mother's grave. Reality being a solo musician was a worst nightmare. Being famous WTH loads if money but somlonely later he realized when he does nt had his own family. Which I believed he nvr want to admit. I just wish he shd kept the band wham for long and making more music's as they grew older together and perhaps he married a woman he can love and love him too. Perhaps fate destined what supposed to be towards George. So sad ending. Dying without anyone close to him
Actually George was a superstar and Andrew simply couldn't do much besides just helping him grown. It was actually Michael's idea to having him be the only responsible por the songs and Everything, Andrew respected cause he was a good friend and he knew that George was better than him at the job.
@@carrietaylor6658 come on bro , he did background vocals could play bass guitar etc and wrote most of there music ! Including there biggest hits , even George said if it wasn’t for Andrew he wouldn’t be where he is today . Now he’s dead 💀
wow.....just wow. If it hadn't been for Andrew Ridgeley George Michael would not have catapulted into the fame he did. Ridgeley either wrote OR co-wrote many of their songs. He also went on to write and produce for many artists out here.
Your damm right I know how it feel I've lost lots of people over the years when I was at school a fue kids in my class and in my year died there was a lad called Ryan Murphy who sadly passed away in his sleep 😴
everyone needs a friend like andrew , Im so sad that George is no longer with us but what a life he lived

Andrew is still cute. He is right. Every time I hear a Wham song I am 19 yrs old again. Good times. Thank you😅
Have you watched his Wham tribute/documentary? I watch it all the time. It's a fantastic show.
Beyond cute… was never into Wham but boy was he cute then and attractive now
Weird seeing Andrew looking like a diplomat. Talented guy
Yes he looks like a diplomat
Yeah just like vic beckham they just outgrow that phase in there life that is not what they want in their life anymore
I can’t believe how the years pass us all by
It's all over so quickly 😕

This is a good looking old man. He was extremely attractive when he was younger.
Yeah overlooked on that front i think. Good lookin bar steward.
Old man? He's in his 50s, not 70s. And he's very active cycling etc.

Absolutely beautiful
U fukin sure

Its to bad he got left behind! Wham was very much his baby. Without him it wouldn't have been. Time just seems to ruin everything! You can never hold on to the moment it comes and goes and the your 50-60 .
I don't need to watch the video to know Wham! split up because Ridgeley wanted to go in a new direction and Michael was holding him back
You got the names reversed. Intentional?
@retread01 Too funny! (Surely George Michael himself would've seen the humor in your comment.)
Andrew has been riding on George's coat tales for years. George was Wham Andy wS just along for the ride.
Micheal was a solo artist when he was in Wham. He experienced astronomical fame and success at the same time as being in a band. I watched the Netflix movie. It was very entertainment. Micheal just got too big for Wham. And Andrew knows that. I’m glad Andrew has had the opportunity to come in on the back end and tell his story as well.
Andrew would you tell them that you had alot of memories and time and you want to share with all of us
Wait. Wham! split up?!!!!
BS headline…they readily “revealed” in 1985 why they ended the band about a year later in 1986. It’s never been a secret or mystery.
George said he wouldn't have ended Wham! when he did but he was in a relationship that just ended and he was angry and feeling sh!tty, he was striking out in his anger. He would have held off a little longer before ending the group.
he is really cute-go buy that book
Cameo means small, being part Italian, you should know that 😊

Because one of them was talented and the other was useless
No, without Andrew their wouldn’t be a George Michael

Andrew and George were a great team. They BOTH CREATED WHAM! Andrew has talent, too. George Michael was an amazing singer and songwriter.
