George Michael 'planning rehab stint'

George Michael has reportedly decided to go to rehab to help him overcome his drug problems.

The 'Careless Whisper' singer, who left jail earlier this week after serving half of an eight-week sentence for driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cannabis, said that he wants to get his life "back on track".

The Sun quotes Michael as saying: "I want to beat my drug addiction and lead a normal life. I don't want to end up back in prison. It's a very horrible place to be.

"You're not considered a person when you're inside, you're just a number and that freaked me out. I have done wrong and paid for this stupid crime and I want to get my life back on track."

Michael's partner Kenny Goss dismissed rumours of the singer already being in rehab as "nonsense".
