The release of a Netflix documentary telling the story of two friends from a Bushey school who took the music world by storm has seen Andrew Ridgeley back in the media spotlight this summer.
The 60-year-old has been busy promoting the story of how he and the late George Michael became Wham! and huge hits including Club Tropicana, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Freedom saw them become global superstars.
Almost two years after Wham! had famously played their last ever gig at Wembley Stadium, Andrew was back in the spotlight on a smaller stage at a Watford nightclub to help raise money for a great cause.
