(London)
Gay singer George Michael has been arrested on drug charges after being found
slumped over the wheel of a car in a gay cruising area of central London.
Police were called to the southeast corner of Hyde Park by a pedestrian. The citizen apparently did not recognize that it was Michael in the car but thought the person might be seriously ill or the victim of a gay bashing.
Michael was checked by paramedics but did not need hospital treatment. He was then taken to a central London police station. The Sun newspaper reports that the singer was booked under his real name, Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.
Michael was released on bail and told to return for additional questioning next month.
The Rose Garden in that area of Hyde Park and the nearly wooded area are well known cruising spots. Across the street the public washroom in a hotel is also notorious among London's gay community.
This is not the first time George Michael has found himself on the wrong side of the law.
In 1998 the former Wham! star was arrested for lewd conduct in a public bathroom in a Los Angeles park after being spotted by an undercover police officer.
The incident led Michael to come out publicly.
Last November he announced his engagement to longtime lover Kenny Goss. The couple said they had not set a date but it is expected to take place this year. Civil partnerships became legal in Britain in December.
But despite his partnership plans Michael has said he is not and does not intend to be monogamous and that he and Goss have an open relationship.
Whether Michael was in the area to cruise is not not known and police would not speculate.
