George Michael arrested over drugs

George Michael arrest over drugs

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...627636.stm

Pop singer George Michael has been arrested in a public toilet in London for alleged drug possession.

"A 45-year-old man was arrested on 19 September on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area," a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

The singer was taken to a police station and cautioned for possessing class A and class C drugs.

Last month the singer completed a two-year world tour called 25 Live, his first for 15 years.

After performing "final" dates at London's Earls Court and in Copenhagen, Michael said he would be retiring from arena and stadium shows.

He said he would leave the "bells and whistles" of large-scale tours behind after the tour because he wanted a "quieter life".

During the concerts, he performed his number one hit Outside in a police uniform in a jokey reference to previous arrests

I love GM but what an asshole! sorry, but taking drugs is one thing (and it's clear to me it doesn't do him or his music any good) but how many times within 2 years has he been arrested???
And now in a public toilet again!!! What did he do, deal???

At times it's embarassing to be a GM fan. It#s sad though that he seems to need drugs...

I hoped he was happier and smarter.

Class A Ecstasy, LSD, heroin, cocaine, crack, magic mushrooms, amphetamines (if prepared for injection). Possession: Up to seven years in prison or an unlimited fine or both.


i hope it was "just" ecstatsy (which he did take in the 80s as well) and not heroin or coke. I can see GM dying of AIDS not because he had unsaved sex but because he used the same spoons and stuff liek some junkies!!

That's so disappointing to read after coming off a great tour. And what's with the public restroom arrests? Wait, maybe I don't really want to know. confused

Eh. Big deal, I say. He likes to get fucked up and cruise. It's fairly harmless. I mean, I wish he'd use a little more discretion, but he's really not hurting anyone and I don't think it's affected his professional life in any way. Whatevz.

Give the dude a break. It's not like he has plastic surgery every Tuesday and diddles little boys.
Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it.

If he's smart he'll get Pete Doherty's laywer. That sonavabitch was getting arrested evey other week for heroin or crack and he never went to jail until about the 15th time.

Except he did not write classic songs after going nose-down into drugs. For me it all ends with Older. After that, it all became a blend of wannabe dance and boring ballads.

He lost it and I think pot had a lot to do with it.

I get all nostalgic when I walk past my supermarket and the gypsy woman at the door plays Careless Whisper on her accordeon.

Sigh...

two of the silliest posts ever. A gay life?? Getting arrested in toilets? And his life's not harmless at all. Who knows which kinda drugs he did take.

it's not that easy. he took ecstasy in the mid 80s too and he still wrote the Faith album!

He was highly on weed when he wrote Older.

But I agree, since then it went downhill. IT#s not just the songs I dislike, it's the whole production of his songs.
I think they used to be timeless, staight to the point. But on Patience and all the other albums his songs lacked structure and he used electronic sounds on sonsg that don't fit with that.

I hope I like his new Christmas songs, though!!!

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

it's not known which drugs he had with him? I really hope it's nothing like H or crack or stuff.

Smoking weed I can tolerate more than killer drugs.

According to The Sun, it was weed AND crack cocaine.
