Wham! plot: What’s it about?
Here’s the official synopsis for the Wham! documentary:
“In 1982, best of friends and still teenagers George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley set out as WHAM! to conquer the world. By June of 1986 they played their very last gig at Wembley Stadium having done exactly that. Now for the very first time, told in their own words, the amazing story of how in four years they dominated the charts around the world with timeless and classic pop songs.
“Their time in the spotlight was white-hot, becoming the very first western pop act to play in China. It was a time that both encapsulated and epitomised not just their youth, but also those of the many millions of fans that adored them.”
Wham! hits on July 5, 2023. You can check out more Netflix previews below:
