On the occasion of her premiere of the new documentary on Netflix about the legendary band of WhamThe Andrew Ringley (Andrew Ridgeley) spoke to PEOPLE magazine about the last moments he spent with him George Michael (George Michael) shortly before he died on Christmas Day, December 25, 2016.

Rangeley reveals that the two would often meet for a game of Scrabble, noting that George Michael “was a big fan [του σκαμπλ] and we played regularly.”

“He beat me last week and I wanted my revenge,” joked the other member of the legendary band.

“It took us right back…to the essence of our school friendship. It was a game that excited him as it did me. This happened a few months before his death,” he added.

It is noted that George Michael died at the age of 53 at his home in the village of Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

On November 3 he will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during a ceremony to be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. “He would be rightly very proud and he deserves his place there,” said Ringelly. You know, he’s a true legend and an icon of modern music…he was probably the best voice and best songwriter of his generation. There aren’t many who were as good as him.”

When asked what he would say to him today if he were alive, the singer notes with a laugh: “What would I say to him? Oh, let’s go have a drink.’

The premiere of ‘WHAM!’ due on July 5th.
