England's Sunday Mirror reports that George Michael has convinced ex- Wham! mate Andrew Ridgeley to get the band back together for a reunion Christmas concert at London's Wembley Arena.
They will be joined by their backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie to make it the pop event of the year. Despite George's recent problems - last week he was cautioned for possession of cannabis after being found again slumped asleep at the wheel of his car - he has been determined to persuade Andrew, also 43, to team up with him again.
A friend revealed: "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."
The duo, who had a string of early 1980s pop hits with songs like "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," played a farewell show in 1986 at Wembley Stadium and have not appeared together since.
