The two played together ― but not music.
Ridgeley told People that Michael was a “big fan” of the classic word game and the two played regularly.
“He’d beaten me the week before, and I was exacting my revenge,” he told the magazine. “It took us right back to just … the essence of our schoolboy friendship and one-upmanship. It was a game that stimulated him, and me also.”
Wham! was one of the biggest acts of the 1980s, cranking out a series of hit records and music videos before their breakup in 1986. Michael would continue to create pop hits, and is being inducted posthumously into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year.
In addition to his body of work, the Hall said Michael was being honored for “paving the way for a generation of proud LGBTQIA+ artists, from Sam Smith to Lil Nas X to Troye Sivan.”
Netflix is releasing a documentary about Wham! on Wednesday, titled “WHAM!”
Ridgeley also briefly touched on the Scrabble game during a 2019 interview:
