GEORGE MICHAEL was known for far more than just his time as a solo artist - but why did he leave his band Wham!
At the time, many fans believed the two band members did not get on, and there were reports suggesting this could be the reason why they were breaking up.
However, George rebuffed this, saying: “I think it should be the most amicable split in pop history."
On June 28, 1986, the band performed its final concert to 72,000 people, which was a long, eight-hour affair.
At the end of the gig, the pair embraced, having been a duo for five years.
