George Michael released from jail after 4 weeks
LONDON, England
The wayward singer was released from jail Monday after serving
almost four weeks for driving under the influence of drugs.
Michael thanked those who had supported him while he was jailed
and said outside his north London home: "I just want to start
again."
The former Wham! singer received an eight-week sentence on Sept.
14 for crashing his car into a London photo shop in July while high
on prescription drugs and marijuana.
The judge ordered Michael to serve four weeks of the sentence in
prison and the rest on parole.
The musician, whose hits include "Faith" and "Freedom," also
received a 1,250 pound (about $2,000) fine and lost his driver's
license for five years.
