Out gay multi-millionaire singer George Michael is in trouble again, as London police arrested him on Friday in a public toilet and found him in possession of cannabis and crack cocaine. Sprung: George Michael A suspicious toilet attendant called police on Friday after Michael was loitering around an underground loo in London's Hampstead Heath – a park well-known as a gay cruising area. The police gave the singer a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs, but released him, says the Press Association. Michael, 45, came out as gay after he was arrested for 'engaging in a lewd act' in a Californian public toilet in 1998. He later based his music video for his song Outside on the incident – which featured men dressed as policemen kissing. On the topic of drugs, Michael admitted his cannabis use was a problem in a BBC interview last year – he said he wished he could smoke less of it and was constantly trying to do so.
