George Michael denies plans for Wham! reunion

 

George Michael has dismissed reports he is set to reunite with former Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley for two concerts at Earls Court, London in August 2008.

 

The pair were rumoured to be teaming up to perform several songs during the Earls Court shows which will mark the end of Michael’s touring career. The reunion had been predicted as part of a series of retirement “surprises”. But Michael’s official spokesperson insists the star has no plans to appear on stage with Ridgeley.

 

The 45 year old singer is currently on what he says is his final tour of the US, after insisting he is “too old” to play any future arena concerts.

 

George Michael’s latest album, Twenty Five, was released in the UK in November 2006. The 29-song, 2CD set chronicles his career – from early Wham! tracks such as ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ and ‘Last Christmas’, to more recent hits such as ‘Jesus To A Child’ and ‘Outside’. The album also includes duets with Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and former Sugababe Mutya Buena.

 

A companion 2-disc Twenty Five DVD, featuring 40 videos, is now also available.
