George Michael was arrested in a public toilet on Friday, September 19, 2008. After being taken to a police station, he was given the caution for possessing class A and class C drugs.
In a statement Michael said: “I want to apologise to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I’ll sort myself out. And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them.”
George Michael has been cautioned for drug possession after being arrested at a notorious meeting place for gay men.
The 45-year-old pop star was caught with a small amount of cannabis and a Class A drug, possibly cocaine or Ecstasy, on Hampstead Heath in North London.
It is the fourth time in three years that the pop star has been arrested on drugs charges but until now he has been caught only with so-called soft drugs such as cannabis.

As of today, I will be on what I think is best described as a temporary leave of absence from the site. I should be back to a regular posting schedule in 2009. There hasn’t been anything to post recently so I don’t think you’ll see much of a difference.
If there is something of major importance (new tour dates, new CD), please put “URGENT” in the subject of your e-mail, and I will post it as soon as I can. Please do not write to me about anything that is unrelated to new George Michael news; you will not receive a response.
ABC has condensed their primetime shows into 4-minute recaps that get you caught up on everything you need to know before the new season begins.
Unfortunately, the Eli Stone Starter Kit has been removed since this article was originally published.
Eli Stone is the story of a lawyer who suddenly starts to have hallucinations … of George Michael. It starts out with George Michael singing “Faith” on his coffee table. What’s so fun about the first season of this television show is that George Michael makes multiple appearances. All of the show titles are George Michael or Wham! songs, and many of the musical numbers are also George Michael songs.
Eli Stone stars Jonny Lee Miller, Natasha Henstridge, Loretta Devine, Matt Letscher, Sam Jaeger, and Victor Garber.
