KEY POINTS:
Pop star George Michael put his troubles behind him as he rocked Wembley with the first concert at the giant new London stadium. The singer has apparently lost none of his fan base, which turned out in force as the new 90,000-seat stadium was tried out as a concert venue for the first time on Saturday.
Michael had emerged on Friday from Brent Magistrates Court having been sentenced to a two-year driving ban and 100 hours' community service after pleading guilty to driving while unfit through drugs.
He emerged to a deafening welcome on the Wembley stage. "I'm actually here, I don't believe it," he told the crowd to huge cheers. "For the most amazing, God-given 25 years, I thank you all."
