When this small news item appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle on August 1st, 1986, vocalist George Michael was already beginning work on his solo career, following the break-up of Wham! a couple of months earlier.

I'll give young Gordon Pickrell the benefit of the doubt, and guess that his car crash had nothing to do with any reaction to the news of Michael's professional split with former singing partner, Andrew 'The Other Guy' Ridgeley.
