EDITORS COMMENTS
George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley from Wham! in China. 1985. This iconic photo captures the historic moment when George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, the dynamic duo of Wham!, set foot in China for their groundbreaking tour. In 1985, as China emerged from its Cultural Revolution, the nation was eager to embrace the world outside its borders. And who better to introduce them to Western pop music than Wham! Here they stand proudly in front of The Forbidden Palace in Tiananmen Square, Peking - a symbol of both Chinese history and newfound openness. As the first Western band to perform in Communist China, Wham! brought their infectious energy and catchy tunes to captivated audiences during their ten-day tour. Behind those smiles lies a significant cultural exchange that bridged gaps between East and West. It was an extraordinary experience for both fans and musicians alike, as they witnessed firsthand how music can transcend boundaries. Fun fact: George Michael's real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou – a testament to his Greek heritage that added another layer of diversity to this remarkable journey. This photograph taken on April 9th, 1985 by Kent Gavin serves as a timeless reminder of an era when music broke down barriers and united people across continents.
