George Michael has been cautioned by police for having cannabis in his car.The singer, 42, admitted the offence at an early-morning meeting with officers at Belgravia police station rather than West End Central - where he was questioned after his arrest on 26 February - to allow him to avoid publicity.
He was held after being found slumped at the wheel of his Range Rover at Hyde Park Corner.
After his arrest he said: "It was my own stupid fault.
"I was in possession of class C drugs which is an offence and I have no complaints about the police, who were professional throughout."
A witness who saw the singer in his car said at the time: "George was completely out of it - he was all over the place. He was found with his head slumped against the wheel. No one could rouse him. He was virtually unconscious. When the police came he could hardly speak."
In 1998 Michael was arrested for lewd conduct after propositioning an undercover police officer in a public lavatory in Beverly Hills.
The singer was fined £450 by a US court and ordered to do 80 hours community service.
The offence marked a shift in his career, publicly confirming for the first time that he was gay. He later sent himself up in a music video portraying the arrest with the song Outside.
