Editing Wham! (section)

===Live Aid (1985)===
Sporting a beard, Michael appeared with Ridgeley onstage at [[Live Aid]] on 13 July 1985 (although they did not perform as Wham!). Michael sang "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" with [[Elton John]], while Ridgeley joined [[Kiki Dee]] in the row of backing singers. In November, Wham! released the single "[[I'm Your Man (Wham! song)|I'm Your Man]]" which went to No. 1 in the UK charts.

Around this time, Ridgeley began a relationship with [[Keren Woodward]] of [[Bananarama]], and also took up the hobby of rally driving. "[[Last Christmas]]" was re-issued for the festive season and again made the UK Top 10, peaking at No. 6, while Michael took up offers he was starting to receive to add his voice to other artists' songs. He performed backing vocals for [[David Cassidy]] ("The Last Kiss"), and also for Elton John on his successful singles "[[Nikita (song)|Nikita]]" (UK No. 3) and "[[Wrap Her Up]]" (UK No. 12), on which he sang co-lead vocals.
