George Michael Apologises To Snappy Snaps Boss Over Drugs Crash

March 10, 2011

George Michael has apologised to the owner of the shop he crashed into while under the influence of drugs.

The singer was jailed for eight weeks and fined for crashing into Snappy Snaps in North London last year.

Michael has previously said sorry for the incident, but was forced into apologising to store manager John on air during an appearance on the Capital FM breakfast show.

“I'm genuinely and sincerely sorry for smashing into your shop,” Michael said.

John replied: “That's no problem. It would be nice if you could come through the front door one day soon.”

The Hampstead branch of Snappy Snaps is close to Michael's home and has become a tourish attraction since the incident last year.
