Wham Bam It's Christmas Time!

Puffy haired pop duo Wham are staging a special one-off Christmas gig complete with backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie!

A friend revealed to British newspaper The Sunday Mirror, "George is thrilled that Andrew's agreed to perform. "It was something George had thought about for a long time. He couldn't be happier and can't wait for the gig."

This news comes hot on the heels of reports that BMG will not drop the pop megastar after he was found "slumped in a stupor in his car" last week after a few too many puffs on a big fat doobie.

The label said they supported Michael fully and added, "We'd never tell him what to do...We never bully our artists. If there was a time when record companies did that, it is long gone."

So far so exciting - all we need now is the immortal line - "Ladies and Gentlemen, Mister Elton John!".

I still can't believe people didn't realise he was gay...
