Klappentext:

For the first time, Andrew Ridgeley - one half of one of the most famous bands in the world - tells the inside story of Wham! and his life-long friendship with George Michael. It is 1975, Watford, and two teenagers, George and Andrew, meet for the first time. Bonding over their love for singing, song writing and pop music, together they set out to follow an impossible dream. They didn't know it then, but they were taking their first steps towards forming Wham!, a band that was to become one of the biggest in the world. Wham! were the soundtrack of the 80s; whether it was choosing life or Live Aid, the decade of flamboyance and fun was a party that seemed like it would never end. But it had to stop somewhere - and that was in front of tens of thousands of tearful fans at Wembley Stadium in 1986. In Wham! George and Me, Andrew Ridgeley tells the story of Wham! - from the day they met to that iconic final concert. For the first time, he reveals what it was like being at the centre of a pop hurricane and talks of his love for and friendship with George. It's a story only he can tell.

Meine Meinung:

Andrew Ridgeley erzählt, wie er seinen besten Freund und späteren Bandpartner George Michael in der Schule in den 70er Jahren kennenlernte, wie sie sich nachmittags getroffen haben, um Schallplatten zu hören, welche Minderwertigkeitskomplexe sie hatten, wie sie anfingen Musik zu machen und so weiter.

Der Fokus liegt dabei immer auf ihrer Freundschaft und ihrer Jugend, die alles geprägt haben, was danach kam.

Ich fand diese Biografie sehr interessant, vor allem die persönliche, aber respektvolle Art, mit der Andrew Ridgeley von seinem besten Freund erzählt, hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
