In what appears to be his seventh car accident/incident, Wham! singer George Michael was arrested in London on Sunday after he drove his Range Rover (awesome product placement BTW) into a Snappy Snap (!) store.

The BBC News reported that George, 48, was "unfit to drive" after being taken to a north London police station. Michael posted bail and was ordered to return in August for a court date.
Michael plowed his British SUV into a Snappy Snaps shop in Hampstead around 3:30 a.m., after he enjoyed London's gay pride parade.
Michaels has a history of bad luck with motor vehicles and was just back to driving after he was suspended in 2007 for two years on charges of driving while allegedly higher than a kite on drugs, and smashing up three parked cars.
The BBC reports that George was arrested in 2009 for suspicion of driving under the influence when his Range Rover hit a truck, and he was arrested again in September 2008 in a public restroom for being in possession of a small amount of crack cocaine and marijuana; he didn't face charges, but was cautioned by police.
In 2006 Michaels had a banner year for car crack-ups. The police found Michael asleep and slumped over the wheel of his car and a search turned up more drugs. Three months later, he was again found passed out in a car. Then he then smashed into a traffic divider after another driver woke him up. Yet another instance that year found George out cold in his car and taken to a local hospital and charged with possession of more drugs.
His driving may be suspect, but his music is not:
