Couple who despise Wham!'s Last Christmas plan to raise millions to stop it being played

A couple who despise Wham!'s festive classic Last Christmas are desperate to raise millions so they can buy the rights to the song and ensure they never hear it again. Writer Tomas Mazetti, 55, and painter wife Hannah, 33, are on a mission to make next Christmas the last Christmas they need to endure it.

Appealing to fellow Wham! haters, the couple have so far managed to raise $62,100 (£51,200) for the cause, with 327 joining forces to raise the cash. The rights to the record have been valued at between $15 million and $25 million and are owned by Warner Chappell Music UK.

If they manage to reach their ambitious target, the devilish duo have big plans for the master recording of the 1984 song which includes dumping it in a Finnish nuclear waste site, the Mirror reports.
