Synopsis: In 1982, the best of friends and still teenagers – George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley as WHAM! set out to conquer the world. By June of 1986, they played their very last gig at Wembley Stadium having done exactly that.

Hit after hit – Club Tropicana, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, Freedom, I’m Your Man, and of course Last Christmas. Their time in the spotlight was white-hot, becoming the very first Western pop act to play in China.
