George Michael court dates clash with Wembley gigs

George Michael will be hoping there are no complications with his upcoming court hearing, because it coincides with his two Wembley dates, the first two concerts to take place at the all new Wembley Stadium. Michael is facing those previously reported charges of being unfit to drive and soft drug possession that stemmed from that incident last October when he was found slumped over the wheel of his car at a road junction at Cricklewood Lane, London. The case goes to court on 8 Jun, the day before the first of his two big Wembley gigs. His legal people had hoped to have him excused from the trial completely, to allow him to concentrate on the live shows, but the judge hearing the case has insisted he attend day one, though she has said she will bail him to return for the final day of the trial, probably at the end of the week, so he won't actually be in court on the day of the gigs. To the suggestion he should be excused completely, district judge Katherine Marshall said: "He is around in the area because I believe he is appearing at Wembley Stadium. I do not think he will have any difficulty in being here on June 8".
