Sunday, singer George Michael was arrested after he crashed his Range Rover into a London store, and officers suspected that he was “unfit to drive”. Michael, 47, was returning from a gay pride march in London when he crashed into a photo store called, Snappy Snaps early Sunday morning.

"Police were called at approximately 3:35am on Sunday 4 July to reports of a vehicle in collision with a building on Hampstead High Street,” a Metropolitan Police spokesman said Tuesday. "Officers attended and a man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive. He was taken to a north London police station and later bailed pending further inquiries. He will appear in court in August.”

The store manager, Jun Mustafa said: “You’re looking at a new shop front definitely -- it was quite badly damaged.”

Tuesday, George Michael issued a statement to fans: "I want to apologize to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I'll sort myself out. And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them."
George Michael was banned from driving for two years in 2007 when he was found slumped behind the wheel of his car and deemed “unfit to drive through drugs.”
