George Michael pleads guilty
George Michael The singer arrived at London's Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court this morning to face the charges, which relate to his arrest on July 4 in the Hampstead area of London, following a car crash. At the time, he was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive.
George – real name Georgios Panayiotou – pled guilty to both charges during the hearing. No further details were available at the time of writing.
At 3.35am on July 4 the 47-year-old lost control of his Range Rover and smashed it into a photo shop near his home. The crash buckled a door frame and shattered windows of the Snappy Snaps shop in the upmarket suburb.
CCTV footage showed a shocked George climbing out of the vehicle to wait for police.
George was not breathalysed, but was held on suspicion of being unfit to drive. He then underwent drug tests at a police station.
