South End Green Toilets, Hamstead, where George was arrested

George Michael has apologised to his fans for 'screwing up again' after he was arrested at a notorious meeting place for gay men and cautioned for drug possession.

The controversial 45-year-old pop star has promised 'to sort myself out' after he was reportedly caught with a small amount of crack cocaine and cannabis in public toilets 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.

A spokesman for the Met Police said: "I can confirm that a 45-year-old man was arrested on September 19 on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area.

"He was taken to a north London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs.

A source said: ‘George has always liked smoking a bit of dope and he’s taken it a bit too far sometimes but he’s never really gone much further. It’s pretty worrying.’

The singer was released from custody several hours after having been cautioned for possession of drugs on Friday. Police have said that no further action will be taken.

Michael, whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou, has been open about his use of cannabis in the past, saying that he was ‘constantly trying to smoke less’.

He recently finished his first world tour in more than 15 years, playing 75 dates around the world. But after the run of concerts ended last month, sources said the singer had been at a loose end in his North London home.

1. Dude, not to distract from such an intriguing topic

but did you change your autosig picture any? I've just read "she'd", and had always read it as "they'd"...

3. I had "they'd" in the previous pic and changed it to "she'd"...

...John Lee only recorded a couple of zillion versions of Boogie Chillen, but the basic lyrics are:

Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I did the first sig pic I remembered the lyrics as his parents not allowing it, then had my JLH CD in the car and heard "she'd," so I made the change.

And the "I would boogie-woogie anyhow" lyric got changed over the years to "I would boogie anyhow," which I think is better, because he really spits the word out defiantly (especially on the Canned Heat version "Boogie Chillen No. 2."

VERY observant! You get one of THESE:

5. Yes, it really is

I wish he'd get his act together because he's so talented.

6. I wonder if he ever ran into Larry Craig.

If you're George Michael do you really need to go to a public bathroom to pick up somebody for sex?
