Netflix is turning the spotlight on George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in their upcoming documentary simply titled, “WHAM!”. The doc chronicles the friendship between the two adolescents, their meteoric rise to fame, and more personal issues like Michael’s struggle with his sexuality.
The trailer, which was released yesterday, features Michael, who died in 2016, looking back on a very complicated time in his life, saying, “As a young gay man, I was just uncomfortable ’cause I was closeted. I was forging an identity through my success and by necessity, I went with full gusto into the progression of Wham!”
The doc promises, “access to both George and Andrew’s personal archive including remarkable and never-before-seen footage, alongside rare, candid and previously unheard interviews, WHAM! charts their incredible journey from school friends to superstars,” according to the press release.
“WHAM!” will be available to stream on Netflix starting July 5th.
