Exclusive: Andrew Ridgeley to Retire From Music

Hey mates. Andy here. I just wanted to tell you that I am retiring from music. I know a lot of you got excited about the prospect of my triple album, "The Emanicipation of Andy" that was slated to come out this year. But after being turned down by 47 different record companies, I have decided to drop the project and end my musical career.

I really feel like I have a lot to offer the music industry. My guitar playing skills are beyond description. My vocals have never been better. I can still write songs with piercing lyrics. But the world has moved on. So instead of fighting the power, I choose to surrender. The world won't have Ridge to kick around anymore.

Thank you, faceless Orgers, for your support. I received many, many, many OrgNotes from you concerning the record's release date and even more requests to hear a sneak peek. Alas, I am taking my musical gems and locking them away. I may actually put them in a time machine so that, 100 years from now, the 32 people left on the planet whose descendents weren't taken out by the avian flu can enjoy. You never know, I may be the new messiah in the future.

Thanks again, Org. Promise me two things before I go. One, that you will remember me and two, that you will not buy any more albums by that wanker George.

Goodbye.

Nothing that I can see..
Faith is most overrated and just average albums of his. I think he (like Michael Jackson and Inxs) got better when they were not "at their peeks" as some people put it.

LWP Volume 1 and Older have some AMAZING songs on each.
His greatest hits disc features his awesome remake of "I Can't Make You Love Me" and the update "Star People 97" (Damn that song is catchy..)
"Patience" was alright and the same with his digital EP.
