Can you have a 5th member of a duo?

 

[Live by the sea]

Good question. George & Andrew were Wham but supported by their two backing singers who have said they felt very integral to the band . The whole look and image was really the 4 of them not just George. & Andrew . Probably wouldn’t happen nowadays but they were all good friends not a manufactured group like many of today’s groups .

So what you are saying is that this guy wasnt the fifth member of a duo but the fifth member of a quartet?

No, he was the 5th member of a duo plus a duo - yes, it's confusing......

There was more than five. Dee C Lee and another chap in there on top of the one you mention.

I don't know how I knew that. And how my cat became to be known as 'Pepsi' is beyond me

I never knew she sang with Wham, obviously I was knew she was a member of The Style Council, but that rather taints her credibility for me. Oh dear, Dee C Lee.

His epitaph should read ... "The man who put two and two together and made five".
