To any long-time George Michael fan, the new reports that George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley will not reunite as Wham! is not a surprise.

One report said:

Today, a spokesman for George Michael has issued a statement saying that no such reunion is being planned. ‘I wish I could say it was true but these are just rumours. George is touring on his own and he is releasing an album. Yes, this is a denial.’

Michael’s longtime manager tells The Hollywood Reporter that the rumor is just that and there is “no truth” to the story.
