Musicians With Embarrassing Pasts (PHOTOS)

OK, so we'll admit it ... we have a few Wham! songs floating around our iPod playlists. We're not embarrassed, that was some quality 80's cheese-pop. But someone who MAY be embarrassed by his Wham! affiliation is the former group's lead singer, George Michael. After all, the guy pretty much embodied early 90's cool after ditching the white shorty-shorts he made famous in the 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' video and replaced them with the leather jacket of his 'Faith'-era solo career.

With the release of Wham!'s greatest hits CD 'Final' this week, we got to thinking ... tons of today's coolest stars have some pretty embarrassing musical pasts. From the hardcore rapper who was once part of an electro-funk group, to the pop singer that started her career singing with a purple dinosaur, read on as we reveal the secrets some stars would rather forget!

George is, but I don't know about Andrew. I thought he (Andrew) was the CUTEST one when I was in college. MTV was a big thing and Wham was a big thing. Ah the 80's.
