Still looking good...but dang, what happened to all that hair???

Andrew is straight. My gaydar didn't really set off with him plus it's kinda stereotypical to think that just because he and George wore short shorts and pose seductively (almost) together that he was going through the same struggles with sexuality that George was.

Age and stress probably. Least George still has a full head of hair.

It was definitely a "bromance". Andrew and George are still friends as we speak.

There were talks awhile back for Wham! to do a reunion tour, but Andrew wasn't really interested in getting back into the spotlight and the things that go along with it. He likes the quiet life. But I hear that Bananarama is doing a reunion.

Yeah Andrew really didn't wanna be in the spotlight even during the Wham! years. Andrew released one solo album and then retired after that. He just isn't interested.

I've never heard one track for the album Son Of Albert. I was told years ago that the album kinda of suck. I guess the album was never good enough for American audiences because I don't remember seeing the album in record stores.

I think I'm the only person who bought the album, lol. I haven't listened to it in years. George sings background on one of the songs called Red Dress. It's nothing like Wham! or George's solo music. It's a guitar pop rock album. If you like Def Leppard or Dr. Feelgood era Motley Crue with some Richie Sambora like guitar talkbox, you might dig it. The thing is when Andrew released his album in 1990, hair rock was on the way out. I don't think anyone took him seriously anyway. I remember Shake got a little radio play, but it didn't get anywhere. If anyone wants to hear them, I found most of the songs that are on the album on Youtube.

My goodness, it's like he looks good but weird all at the same time... Like his face is flawless...but a toupee or some of Jermaine Jackson's gel dye wouldn't hurt.

George Michael is looking insanely handsome in this pic.... Andrew is looking flawless too, but George's face just has "sex" written all over it....

I wonder how many bottles of hairspray he went through between 1983-1988

It's ok. I've known a few folk who were.

I wasn't shocked, but I have no gaydar, so I certainly didn't "know". Same with Clay Aiken, so that should tell you how clueless I am.

I was still surprised when Gary Glitter was uncovered as a kiddie-fiddler. I can tell you that straight away I stopped wanting to be in His Gang.
