George Michael Checks Into Rehab
Good for him! He needs this!
Earlier this week, George Michael appeared in front of a judge and pleaded guilty to drug charges after ramming his car in a photo shop back in July.
The singer now has announced that he's entered a 14-day detox program where he will receive outpatient treatment, which includes drug counseling "several times a week."
Michael posted a note on his website to his fans, saying:
"I want to thank you all sincerely, and also to reassure those of you who worry so much for me. I fully appreciate the seriousness of my current situation, for which I truly apologise…
I feel you should know that on the day after the incident I checked in to a clinic for a 14 day detox program here in London, which has been followed by ongoing outpatient drug counselling several times a week. Personal problems which I had tried to deal with myself had clearly got the better of me, and I am sorry that my pride has prevented me from seeking help before now.
I would also like to express my thanks to those whose discretion allowed me to begin this process in private, which has helped me greatly."
We hope this works, George!
