Outrageous Facts About George Michael, Pop's Iconic Bad Boy

50. His Will Is Controversial

The will distributed money to Michael's immediate family and many of Michael's friends from the 1980s, but had some huge omissions.

For example, Michael's old Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley was snubbed. Why? To this day, we're still not sure.
