Andrew Ridgeley tog emot ett postumt Academy Fellowship för George Michael vid 2026 års Ivor Novellos den 21 maj. Utmärkelsen, den högsta hedersbetygelsen från The Ivors Academy, delades ut på Grosvenor Hotel i London.
Ridgeley, Michaels tidigare bandkamrat i Wham!, berättade för NME bakom scenen att hedersbetygelsen hade betytt mycket för den bortgångne sångaren. Han sa att Michael skulle ha varit stolt över att räknas bland de låtskrivare vars verk hade format honom.
