George Michael busted in a public bathroom. Again?

Tell me if this doesn't sounds familiar.

George Michael was arrested in a public toilet.

Yup, it's a rerun. The first time this happened was a decade ago, in 1998, when he was detained by an undercover cop for alleged lewd conduct (soliciting sex) in a Beverly Hills public restroom. This resulted in his being outed as a homosexual.

This time the bust took place Friday in London's Hampstead Heath area, and Michael was found to have class A and class C drugs on his person.

In a statement, Michael said: "I want to apologize 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."

Last month Michael completed his world tour and was going to retire from large stadium shows, saying he wanted to leave the "bells and whistles of touring for a quieter life." Though he is in a long-term committed relationship, he has confessed to seeking anonymous and no-strings sex on Hampstead Heath.

Earlier this year, the 45-year-old signed a multimillion-dollar deal with publisher HarperCollins to write his autobiography, which he claimed would be a "no-holds barred" account of his wild life.

Better save room for one more chapter, George. And stay out of the darn public toilets.

Go before you leave home!

Get his name right. There's no "s" on the end of Michael.

What a disgrace this man is to humanity.
Lewd behaviour, a drug user and obviously doesn't think he needs to be taught a lesson.
Throw him in jail and see how lewd he will be in there.

He's still the best .....and always love him the way he is.

I posted a bit earlier, but there is something else I want to say. I'm not a kid, I'm in my forties and have been an admirer of GM since the 80s. His music can make me cry, laugh,sing and dance. One of the best nights of my life was July 31st when I was fortunate enough to see him in concert. I was on my feet the whole time, dancing and singing, I never thought that I could feel so free!! I thank him, for giving me that night, that magical feeling. I don't know all of what happened , but I'm with you George, your true fans are with you and cheering you on to get through this.

I will always admire George and his music he has amazing voice. I have been a fan of his since the eighties. I certainly hope he gets his life in order and stops using the drugs. I support him still and so do your fans.

George Michael You are such an incredible singer and writer who has more wealth than most people on this planet and you are ruining yourself with aspects of disgraceful sex...you deserve to treat your body and mind so much better...Please seek Jesus and get some advice from a reputable priest....I'm a genuine fan who wants your legacy to match your talent.

I’m always behind on George Michael’s news. George, I’m sorry this happened to you. No one on this earth is perfect. Sometime, we need to hit rock bottom before we wake up and take it serious and seek help in order to recover from this. As a HUGE fan of yours, you have all my support. As Tremble said, please seek Jesus. Also, please get into rehab to treat your sex and drug addiction. Only you, George, can turn over a new leave. As your father said, Sod them off, those media. Ask your mum & your Brazil lover from heaven for their help and strength to help you make your way into recovery. Sadly, I never saw your concerts because I couldn’t afford it. But I do hope to see you in person one day. Keep on making music, George! Best Wishes!
