Can R. Kelly Fly Again Following Sex Scandal?
"Can R. Kelly Fly Again Following Sex Scandal?"
states:
"Singer George Michael has had a hard time getting his career back on track since being arrested for lewd conduct in 1998 for exposing himself to an undercover officer in a California park bathroom. While Michael defused the situation a bit by mocking the arrest in the video for his 1998 single "Outside," his recording output since the arrest has been minimal."
Wasn't his recording before the arrest "minimal" as well?
