Wham! celebrated a short but successful career, running from 1981 until their disbandment in 1986. Over the five years, Wham! wide-released two studio albums – 1983’s ‘Fantastic’ and 1984’s ‘Make It Big’ – as well as two variations of a final third album. That third album was titled ‘Music from the Edge of Heaven’ in North America and Japan. In other territories, an album called ‘The Final’ was released, and featured only a few of the songs on ‘Music from the Edge of Heaven’.

Wham! are best known for their hits ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’ and ‘Last Christmas’.

George Michael, who enjoyed a successful solo career following Wham! that spawned hits such as ‘Careless Whisper’, ‘Father Figure’, ‘Freedom! ’90’ and ‘One More Try’ died peacefully at the age of 53 on Christmas day in 2016.
