Andrew Ridgeley is now virtually unrecognisable as one half of the iconic 1980s pop duo, Wham! The music icon, now 61, has largely stayed out of the spotlight since the band split up back in the spring of 1986, after their farewell concert at Wembley Stadium.
He tried to launch a solo career, but ended up writing songs for other people. Andre came back into the public eye to pay tribute to his bandmate George Michael, who tragically died of heart disease on Christmas Day in 2016, but largely lives a quiet life in Cornwall, raising money for charity by undertaking sponsored bike rides.The beloved star is worth around £30 million, thanks to the enduring popularity of Wham!'s hits, including Club Tropicana, Last Christmas and I'm Your Man.
But Andrew appeared on Magic FM to talk to presenter and Escape To The Country host Sonali Shah, for a documentary about another of Wham!'s huge hits, Careless Whisper.
Sonali posted a series of pictures of her with Andrew on her Instagram account, saying: "40 years after its first release, we look back at the story behind this iconic song and explore its legacy with rare audio and exclusive interviews."
