George Michael “Was Crying His Eyes Out … He Was Like a Little Boy.”

George Michael was just Georgios Panayiotou yesterday.  I don’t know if this jail time is a good thing for him or not, but I think it’s the first time in a long time that he’s going to be Georgios Panayiotou and not “George Michael.”  He’s been surrounded by “yes” people for so long that it will be difficult to be surrounded by the confines of the “no” world of a jail cell.

Yesterday cellmate Richard Hayes, 42, recalled the moment the shaken 80s pop legend walked into the court lock-up.

He said: “I couldn’t believe it was George Michael standing in front of me.

“When the door shut behind him, he didn’t know what to do. He was in pieces.

He kept repeating ‘I can’t believe this has happened to me’. I told him to come and sit down, asked him what happened and he just put his head in his hands.

“He was crying his eyes out, he was sobbing. He was like a little boy.”

“There were two other men in the cell. One appeared to be off his head. He was in another world.

“I told George to sit down. To be honest with you, he was s***ing himself. I tried to reassure him, but he just held his head in his hands and stayed in the corner.

“I was trying to be nice to him because I feel sorry for him going to jail with his status. But on the other hand, he was driving a big car while he was out of his brain. He could have killed someone.”
