George is quoted as saying the following in his interview with Chris Evans, which will air on Monday:
“I was assured I wasn’t going to prison but I thought I was, and it was much easier to take because I felt it was deserved,” he said, in an interview to be broadcast Monday.
“This was a hugely shameful thing to have done repeatedly so karmically I felt like I had a bill to pay. I went to prison, I paid my bill.
“Remarkably enough — I know people must think it was a really horrific experience — it’s so much easier to take any form of punishment if you believe you actually deserve it, and I did.”

According to George Michael covers New Order for Comic Relief:
Former New Order bassist Peter Hook told the BBC Michael’s version was a “beautiful” interpretation but admitted it was “not exactly to my taste”.
According to Hook, the band became friends with the former Wham! singer in the 1980s when they would attend the same parties in the US.
“It’s a very, very George Michael interpretation of the song and it’s beautiful for that,” he said.
“It’s very flattering. George doing True Faith is such a great compliment.
“It blew me away when I heard it. Not exactly to my taste, but it did blow me away.
“I think he’s done a fantastic version and I’m delighted that it’s for such a good cause.”
