George Michael on What the Name ‘Wham!’ Stands For

True, we could have gone on, possibly for many years, but what would the name WHAM! stand for in, say, five years time. two men approaching their thirties, and singing about – what?

To us, that name is about being young, optimistic, with everything to gain, and an excitement for the future. Andrew and I have somehow managed to keep hold of these things, – and our friendship, for four years, and that’s the best reason we can think of for finishing things now, before experience, and the music business take their toll.
