English singer George Michael says he is delighted at the way his court case is being handled. The star has admitted driving while unfit, claiming he was guilty due to "tiredness and prescribed drugs".
He was found slumped at the wheel of his Mercedes in Cricklewood, north London, in October. "I have accepted throughout this affair that I was not in a fit state to have been driving a motor vehicle ... and accordingly pleaded guilty to the charge of driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs."
