From the BBC:

Pop star George Michael has said he “just wants to start again” following his release from prison in Suffolk after serving a sentence for drug driving.

The 47-year-old said it was “fantastic” to be free on “a beautiful day”.

“I just want to say thank you for everybody who has supported me in there,” the singer told reporters outside his north London home.

Michael served half of an eight-week sentence in jail for crashing his car while under the influence of cannabis.

He was arrested in July after being found slumped at the wheel of his Land Rover in Hampstead, north London.
