George Michael ‘ashamed’ of drug driving incident

POP star George Michael pleaded guilty yesterday to driving while unfit through drugs and said he was “very ashamed”.

The 43-year-old singer admitted the charge on the first day of his trial at Brent Magistrates’ Court in north west London, claiming he was guilty due to “tiredness and prescribed drugs”.

A further charge of being in charge of a vehicle while unfit through drugs was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.
