George Michael: Guilty as Charged

British pop star 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."

Cops arrested Michael, who's real name is George Panayiotou, when motorists complained that a Mercedes-Benz was blocking traffic in North London and then found the singer passed out.

Michael will be sentenced May 30, after more drug tests are administered. A charge of being in charge of a vehicle while unfit through drugs was dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service.

"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."

"It was fairly predictable considering how much work I had done that week," he said.

At the time, Michael said, he was unaware that he could accept a punishment without admitting guilt or going to court. Michaels was worried that the set court date would interfere with his opening concert of the new Wembley stadium.

George Michael worked hard to get the honor of opening the rebuilt stadium and in an interview with VH1's Inside Track he said he pestered Wembley bosses to make sure he got the gig, "I started making enquiries last year and I told the people building Wembley 'I don't care when it happens but I want to open it.'"

George added: "I'm not afraid this time just excited. I can only imagine something the size of Wembley. I've spent the last two years getting ready (for this tour).

"I was shocked at how well my voice has survived after all these years and I haven't had to stop smoking the Weed!"
