AFP (link no longer available) is reporting:

Pop star George Michael was arrested and questioned after his Land Rover car collided with a lorry in Britain, but the singer insisted Saturday he was “stone cold sober” at the time.

The 46-year-old was held in the early hours of Friday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence of drink and drugs, but was released without charge after five hours, the BBC reported.

Michael, the former star of 1980s pop band Wham, later issued a statement insisting he had done nothing wrong.

“Neither of us was charged because we were both stone cold sober. We both think the other is to blame so this is just an insurance fight,” he said, referring to the lorry driver.

“I don’t want my fans or my family worried by what they are reading all over again.”
