George Michael likes being unconscious

Z list singer, George Michael has been busted for possession of drugs again after he was found slumped unconscious over the wheel of his car reports NW magazine.

The singer, who has been caught three times sleeping at the wheel during the last eight months, was taken to hospital for a check up after cannabis was found in his pocket. George's partner Kenny refused to acknowledge George was suffering from a drug problem. "He's fine and I've got him a McDonalds," he said.

The 'Fast Love' singer was discovered by police in a "semi-conscious state"
in his Mercedes car at around 3.20am on Sunday morning (01.10.06), and
rushed him to the Royal Free Hospital, in Hampstead, London.

The singer, 43, failed a breath test.

Police believe Michael was under the influence of both cannabis and alcohol.

A source said: "An officer saw George slumped in his seat in a
semi-conscious state. He was helped out of the car and an ambulance was
called because there were real concerns for him."

A police spokesman tells British newspaper Daily Mirror, "In the routine way a doctor was called out to him to take a blood sample, but thought he seemed ill and decided he needed to go to hospital in case he was in a more serious condition that first thought.

"There was a concern a mix of drugs and alcohol may have had a bad effect on him."

After being given the all-clear after a couple of hours in hospital, Michael returned to Colindale police station, when he was given a caution after admitting possession of cannabis.

The incident is reminiscent of a similar episode in February when the singer
was found slumped at the wheel of his car near London's Hyde Park Corner and
arrested on suspicion of possessing Class C drugs.

In April, Michael avoided police charges after his vehicle collided with three parked cars on a hill near his north London home. The singer declared he was a "terrible driver."

Michael has been released on bail until November.
