Released four decades after the release of their 1983 debut album, the Netflix documentary Wham! celebrates the vibrant career of the titular pop duo. Directed by the documentary veteran Chris Smith , Wham! incorporates rare archival footage along with TV interviews to cover the personal and musical evolution in George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s lives.
Helen "Pepsi" DeMacque & Shirlie Holliman Were Wham!'s Backing Vocalists Before Performing As A Duo As the first act of the Netflix documentary reveals, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley relied on a loyal ensemble of background singers for their UK shows. One such singer attached to the duo’s musical endeavors was Shirlie Holliman.
Despite gaining enough popularity among Wham!’s global fanbase, the two backing singers seemed to harbor ambitions of their own. And Pepsi and Shirlie did manage to cement their individuality even after Wham! split in 1986. As George Michael set out to write and perform for a more sophisticated audience as opposed to Wham!’s predominantly teenage girl fanbase, Pepsi and Shirlie performed with Wham! for one final concert aptly titled “The Final”.
What Pepsi & Shirlie Have Done Since Their Last Album In 1991 Following a brief hiatus since 1989, Pepsi & Shirlie reunited to release their sophomore album Change. Despite the album’s sole single “Someday” produced by none other than George Michel himself, Change unfortunately could not mimic the success of their debut album and the British duo never released another record. But their musical pursuits and live performances never stopped.
