WHAM! Celebrates 40th Anniversary of Last Christmas

In December, BBC Two will air 'WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped,' an hour-long documentary celebrating the 40th anniversary of the iconic song 'Last Christmas' by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. The film will feature interviews with Ridgeley and other key figures, alongside archival footage of Michael, who passed away on Christmas Day in 2016. Viewers will gain insight into the song's creation, its cultural impact, and will see a reunion of friends from the original music video shot in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. The documentary includes never-before-seen outtakes and a performance by Michael at Wembley Arena in 2006. Additionally, a special 40th Anniversary EP featuring original versions of the song will be released on December 13, further commemorating its legacy. 'Last Christmas' has achieved immense popularity, with over four billion audio streams and chart-topping success in 16 countries since its 1984 release.
