The Story of ‘Wham!’ Comes From an Unlikely Source
Where I was living in Michigan, kids were turning their noses up at Wham! I was a snide teenager, listening to the Cure, Depeche Mode, that sort of new wave thing.
Hey, there were plenty of us who didn’t turn up our noses at Wham in the 1980s! Two of us started a fan club in the mid-1980s and eventually started this website in the 1990s!
The Wham! documentary is nominated for best documentary at the BAFTAs.
George Michael is still a successful businessman, even after his death.
According to The Sun, George Michael’s company, Nobby’s Hobbies Holdings, made £20.6million in publishing income, £2.5million in record royalties and an additional £600,000, from records ending in March 2023.
This revenue equates to £55,000 day.
