George Michael has been arrested in public toilets, suspected of possessing drugs.
Reports say the multi-millionaire singer was arrested after a tip-off from a suspicious toilet attendant after he was seen loitering in an underground toilet block in London's Hampstead Heath on Friday.
When police officers arrived Michael was still in the toilet block. Police reportedly found him in possession of cannabis and crack cocaine.
In a candid interview for BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs last year, Michael talked openly about his drug use.
He said: "I'm a happy man and I can afford my marijuana so that's not a problem."
A spokesman for the Met Police said: "I can confirm that a 45-year-old man was arrested on September 19 on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area.
"He was taken to a north London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs."
At Michael's last concert at Earls Court in London last month he announced to journalists that there would be no more stadium tours.
Michael's tour began in Barcelona in September 2006 and he has entertained more than 1.3 million fans across Europe and North America.
The 21-date American leg of the tour was the first time he has performed there for 17 years and included New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago and Washington.

So he was loitering maybe he wanted to get caught?
I know he's a smoker and i remember years back reading a Qmag interview,he had some guy rolling joints for him whilst doing the interview.
But i never thought he was into Crack i believe thats highly addictive?
Maybe it's a publicity stunt and he never took it at all?
Well personally if i was that wealthy i wouldn't be hanging round public toilets for a start.
I'd be enjoying myself seeing the world and helping others,btw thats me now.
Personally if I was that that wealthy I would have a public toilet built in my back garden..I mean Ronnie Wood had a pub built in his back yard..Rod Stewart had a football pitch built in his.

I used to urinate exclusively outside, but now thanks to George Michael's popularizing public toilet usage, I prefer to ‘go’ in there now.
Congratulations George Michael on your campaign for the promotion of the great public flush.

A lorry driver who saw George Michael speed past him seconds before crashing his £80,000 Range Rover said the singer was "driving like a madman".
Sean Strong, 36, claimed the former Wham! star was weaving across lanes with his headlights on full beam.
Michael, who was released without charge, has claimed he was "stonecold sober" at the time of the accident.
Sean, from Scunthorpe, Lincs, said: "He was all over the road - he was driving like crazy. He swerved past my artic so closely that he just missed me. He was shouting and screaming at the passenger seat.
"I just knew the guy was not safe and that he was going to crash, which he did a mile or two later.
"I am surprised he walked away from it. He was going at some speed."
George, 46, slammed his car into the back of a 7-ton truck on the A34 outside Newbury, Berks, just after 1am on Friday.
He was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving but released.
In a statement last night he said: "Neither of us was charged because we were both stone-cold sober.
"We both think the other is to blame so this is just an insurance fight."
