George Michael said he received no special treatment while behind bars Pop star George Michael has been released from prison in Suffolk after serving a sentence for drug driving.
The 47-year-old star was handed an eight-week sentence on 14 September for crashing his vehicle while under the influence of cannabis.
Michael was arrested in July after being found slumped at the wheel of his Land Rover in Hampstead, north London.
The singer served the initial days of his sentence in Pentonville Prison before being transferred to Highpoint.
While serving his time in jail, Michael – real name Georgios Panayiotou – issued a statement to say that he had received “no special treatment of any kind”.
He said he had been treated with kindness by prison staff and fellow inmates.
The star, who had a previous conviction for a similar offence, was told there was no option apart from a custodial sentence when he appeared at Highbury Magistrates Court.
Police found Michael at his wheel after he crashed into the Hampstead branch of photographic store Snappy Snaps.
