George Michael has been released from prison.
The former Wham!singer, who was jailed on 14th September for crashing his car while being under the influence of cannabis, has been released from behind bars in Suffolk.
George, real name Georgios Panayiotou, was originally given an eight week sentence, but has been released after serving only four weeks of the term.
The Freedom singer initially served the beginning of his sentence in Pentonville Prison before being moved to Highpoint, after his arrest where police found him slumped at the wheel of his Land Rover in Hampstead, North London this July.
While in jail, the star claimed he had received 'no special treatment of any kind', despite his superstar status.
The 47-year old previously released a statement claiming: "I think it’s only fair to my fans, family and friends to respond in some way, even though I will be home soon."
"In the last three weeks there have been no tears, no anxiety, no bullying, in fact not so much as a sleepless night for me."


The statement also claimed that staff and his fellow inmates 'treated him with kindness' throughout his sentence.
