Wham! China Tour Behind the Scenes | Entertainment and Celebrity News
Description
Wham!’s groundbreaking 1985 tour of China—first Western act post-Cultural Revolution—gets a new cinematic spotlight, but the story behind the footage is wild: original director Lindsay Anderson clashed violently with the band, hated the project, and even filmed under strict, fear-inducing conditions that frustrated George Michael. His rejected cut, If You Were There, still exists in a university archive, but George’s estate firmly blocked its release. Now, a new doc, Wham! 10 Days in China, is set to premiere July 28, offering a fresh, authorized look at the historic, chaotic trip—and George’s enduring veto means the old footage won’t be showing up in theaters anytime soon.
