George Michael: Death of WHAM! was because I was closeted and miserable

George Michael said that the demise of WHAM! — the band he formed with childhood friend Andrew Ridgeley — was tied to being secretly gay.

“The turning point of WHAM! was me as I suddenly thought, ‘Oh my God, I’m a massive star and I’m gay’ and the depression was about that,” he continued, “about the way I’d boxed myself in.”The documentary tells the story of Michael and Ridgeley meeting in school and bonding over their shared love of music. The two decided to form a band and, by the age of 20, had already found success.

Michael went to tell his best friend, Ridgeley, who only “wanted him to be happy” but advised Michael not to come out to his family, especially his father, a tough Greek Cypriot immigrant.
