He's Not Your Man: Ridgeley No-Shows Wham! Reunion Gig

Hey, remember that Wham! reunion that we got all excited about a few months ago? Well, guess what—it didn't happen. Yes, that's right, Andrew Ridgeley did not join George Michael on stage at Wembley Arena last week (we only found out about this today, after idly wondering why none of you had sent us YouTube clips of the long-rumored "Freedom"/"Freedom 90" medley). The official line is that Ridgeley was "too nervous," but we're thinking there's a cover-up afoot.

In a testament to the miracles that can happen when legal fees pile up, Wham! members George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley have decided to do a one-off show this December:

"George is thrilled that Andrew's agreed to perform. It was something George had thought about for a long time. He couldn't be happier and can't wait for the gig."

Aww, so nice. Maybe George will even let Andrew do a medley of songs from Son Of Albert, just to be extra-sweet.
