British singer George Michael has left hospital after being treated for injuries following a bizarre incident on the M1 motorway. He is out of hospital after being treated for head injuries from a car accident two weeks ago, his website said on Wednesday.
The star was airlifted to hospital with a head injury after falling from his vehicle on to the road earlier this month.
A statement on his website said: “We can confirm that George Michael has been discharged from hospital and continues to rest and recuperate. He is well and thanks everyone for all the messages of support.”
British media reported the singer fell out of a car he was travelling in on the M1 motorway just outside London during rush hour. An eyewitness had been told the former Wham! star had tried to adjust his door because it was not properly closed and had fallen out.
18 months ago, Michael cancelled a tour of Australia after being struck with pneumonia in Vienna, where he was treated in intensive care for a month. The health scare almost put the singer to death but he fought back to perform again.
The accident was the latest to put the “Careless Whisper” singer into the headlines. In 1998 he was arrested in California for “engaging in a lewd act” in a public toilet. In September 2010 Michael received an eight-week prison sentence after crashing his Range Rover into a shop in north London. He was also given a five-year driving ban after he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis.
The singer has sold an estimated 100 million records over his career.
