Ten years ago, he was caught by Los Angeles police in a compromising position with another man inside a public toilet and then, only days ago, the pop star was arrested in a suburban London restroom for possession of crack cocaine and marijuana.
"I want to apologize to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I'll sort myself out," said the singer, who had recently completed a sold-out U.S. tour, in a statement released on Sunday. "And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them."This latest arrest for George comes two years after he was found unconscious and under the influence of drugs behind the wheel of his car in London. As part of his punishment for the infraction, he was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and banned from driving for two years.Controversial pop star George Michael has promised to “sort himself out” after being found in a public toilet in possession of crack cocaine and cannabis.The singer, who has been involved in similar incidents in the past, made a light hearted quip referring to the repetitive nature of his embarrassing debacles."I want to apologize to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I'll sort myself out," Michael said in a statement. "And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them."In 2006, Michael was found asleep at the wheel of his car in London under the influence of drugs – he was banned from driving for two years and was made to perform 100 hours of community service.Michael, 45, has mentioned to BBC radio that he was aware of his problems with drugs and was trying to reduce his intake."In a strange way I've spent the last 15 to 20 years trying to derail my own career, but it never seems to suffer," he said."I suffer like crazy. I've suffered bereavements and public humiliations, but my career always seems to right itself like a plastic duck in the bath."The singer recently performed his last ever shows to large crowds in the UK, Europe and the US, but has not written off his music career entirely – still continuing to record.
Michael began his performing career in 1981 with pop group Wham! which shot the singer to international fame. He branched out into performing solo in 1987 - with his album Faith becoming one of the biggest selling albums of all time.
