Pop star George Michael has been cautioned by police for carrying cannabis when found passed out in his car.It is the second time in eight months that the 43-year-old music legend has been found slumped over the wheel of his vehicle.
Michael was found by officers after worried motorists dialled 999 to report his car was causing an obstruction at traffic lights in Cricklewood, north London.
Scotland Yard confirmed that police arrested the driver on suspicion of being unfit to drive and for possession of what was believed to be cannabis.
He was taken to hospital before being cautioned for the drug offence and released on police bail pending further inquiries on his fitness to drive.
The arrest raises fresh fears over the health of the singer, who has just started a world tour.
His partner, Kenny Goss, told The Sun newspaper that Michael had nothing to say. He said: “He’s fine and I’ve got him a McDonalds.”
Michael was cautioned by police for possession of cannabis after being found in a similar state at Hyde Park Corner in February.
At the time he issued a statement claiming it was “my own stupid fault as usual”, and later penned a song inspired by the experience.
In April the former Wham! star was in the news again when he collided with three parked cars near his north London home.
