George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley are to reform Wham!.
The 80s pop duo, whose hits include 'Club Tropicana' and 'I'm Your Man', are reportedly planning to fly out to the US this summer to start recording tracks for a new album, with the possibility of a tour later.
George made his wishes for a reunion known last year, and asked Andrew to join him on stage at his solo show at London's Wembley Arena last December.
However, Andrew pulled out at the last minute because he was too nervous.
A source said at the time: "Andrew was sick with nerves at the thought of appearing on stage after all these years, he backed out."
Wham! split in 1986 and performed their last concert, 'The Finale', at the now demolished Wembley Stadium, in London, in June of that year.
George has since enjoyed a phenomenally successful solo career. His debut album 'Faith' sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
Andrew took a short break from pop after the band split but has continued to write songs for other artists under various pseudonyms.
