George Michael News

From George Michael: Inside the troubled star’s life of smoking, sex and soaps:

One member of his trusted team says: “George is a genius but every genius is flawed. His stubbornness is breathtaking. We all told him, time and time again, to use a chauffeur for safety. His cousin Alex Georgiou was on hand 24 hours a day to drive him. But no, George wanted to do things his way and drive himself. The Snappy Snaps crash was inevitable, yet avoidable.

“George won’t be told. He’ll swear on live radio once he’s been warned not to. He smoked weed on TV and confessed his love of cottaging to journalists. It has his PR people tearing their hair out.”

Those who have followed George’s career know he simply does not take unwanted advice.

Even as a young pop upstart he urged fans not to buy his single because he was annoyed at a record company deal. George will not be bossed around.

The source adds: “After years of hiding who he really was, George has no time for pretence and will do exactly what he wants – and that is not usually very much.”

According to George Michael ‘could be jailed for three months over drug-drive charge’:

If he is convicted, it will be his third drug-related motoring offence – and traffic law experts warned he was at “serious risk” of being jailed.

Solicitor Ian Kelcey, of Kelcey and Hall, said: “It is quite possible a magistrate will take a view and say ‘I consider that you are a risk to the public’.

“They will think ‘You are in charge of a potential lethal weapon and you need to stop doing this’. A prison sentence would be a consideration especially if it is a third offence.
