What did Andrew Ridgeley do after Wham! broke up?

It's been almost 40 years since 80s icons Wham! played their final ever gig at Wembley Stadium. Best friends George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley took the globe by storm, selling more than 30 million records worldwide in just four years.

A new documentary on Netflix, titled Wham!, is telling their story, featuring unheard interviews and never-before-seen footage from George and Andrew's personal archives. The pair were still teenagers when Wham! began to take off in 1982, having formed the duo while at school in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

They became one of the most successful bands on the 80s, with hits including 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go', 'Club Tropicana and Last Christmas.' But they split in 1986, with George wanting to create music for a more grown-up audience.
