George
Michael To Face Court
Charges
Singer
George
Michael
is to face court charges
of being unfit to
drive.
Lawyers
are likely to enter a
plea on behalf of the
43-year-old star - who
is not expected to
appear - on Wednesday at
Brent Magistrates'
Court,
London.
The
musician was arrested on
suspicion of being unfit
to drive and possessing
drugs, following an
incident in his car in
north London in October
last year.
He
was cautioned for
possessing cannabis and
later charged with the
driving offence just
before
Christmas.
The
singer was arrested
after motorists called
police to report a car
causing an obstruction
at traffic lights in
Cricklewood, north
London on 1 October
2006. He was taken to
hospital.
George
Michael was later
cautioned for drug
possession and released
on police bail pending
further inquiries over
his fitness to
drive.
In
February 2006, George
Michael was cautioned by
police for possessing
cannabis after being
found in his car at Hyde
Park Corner, central
London.
Wednesday's
court date comes days
after the former Wham!
star was paid a reported
£1.5m for a
one-hour concert at a
Russian billionaire's
New Year
party.
