George Michael pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of driving while unfit through drugs.
The 43-year-old singer said in Brent Magistrates’ Court that he was guilty due to “tiredness and prescribed drugs.”
A charge of driving a vehicle while unfit through drugs was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. Sentencing was deferred until May 30, pending more blood tests.
Michael, whose real name is George Panayiotou, was arrested in the early hours of Oct. 2 after police responded to complaints that a car was blocking an intersection in North London. Police said he was found slumped over the wheel of the car.
“I am perfectly aware that I did something very wrong and got into my car when I was unfit to drive,” Michael told the court. “I was not in my normal physical state and I’m perfectly prepared to accept the correct punishment for that and I would have accepted it a long time ago.”
Michael said he was unaware at the time that he could accept a punishment without admitting guilt and dispose of the matter without going to court.
He is one of the many stars, who are having problems with driving. Just days ago Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days behind bars. Maybe he will be the next to go in jail.
