George Michael is set to marry partner Kenny Goss - but has no plans to be faithful to him.

The 47-year-old star and his boyfriend hope to wed early next year in a "small, private ceremony".

The couple are looking forward to their upcoming nuptials but the singer has hinted the usual marriage vows may not apply.

He said: "Gay relationships are a bit different. I'm sure we'll be allowed to roam if we want to. But we love each other dearly."

The singer, speaking at a screening of his new documentary, 'George Michael: A Different Story', added: "I want Kenny to have his rights just as I want mine.

"It's wonderful that gay marriages will become legal and it is long overdue."

Meanwhile, the British pop star has dismissed rumours of a Wham! reunion - insisting former bandmate Andrew Ridgeley would never agree to perform again.

Despite the recent reunions of a host of fellow '80s bands, including Duran Duran and

Tears For Fears, Michael insists Wham! will not be returning to the stage.

He said: "Oh please. Even if I wanted to do it, Andrew would never do it. I'm afraid I can't get into those small tennis shorts anymore!"
