Holy Shit

Not trying to overreact, but here's the story so far. I suspect it is greatly exaggerated, but still ...

The former Wham! singer, 46, allegedly drove his £80,000 silver Range Rover at high speed into the truck on the A34 near Newbury, Berkshire at 1am on Friday.

Lawrie Rowe, 43, who was driving the seven-ton Volvo 440, told The Sun: "He must have been doing 100mph. When he got out he couldn't walk straight."

Mr Rowe, of Middlesbrough, said: "I was driving at 45mph in the inside lane when I saw a car come speeding up behind me, its lights on full beam.

"It must have been doing about 100mph and was weaving all over the place as if it was overtaking and undertaking. It smashed into the back of my cab and I felt a hell of a thump.

"His car went spinning across the outside lane and into the central barrier before bouncing back into my cab. He then hit the barrier again."

The singer only recently got his licence back after a two-year ban for drug-driving in 2007, when he was found slumped behind the wheel of his car on Cricklewood, North-West London.

Mr Rowe, who was driving in a three-truck convoy from Peterborough to Southampton, said he called the police and ambulance following the incident.

"There was no movement from his car for what seemed like 10 minutes. I was really shaken and thought someone had died," he said.

According to Mr Rowe, the Range Rover's bonnet was sticking up while all the windows were shattered.

"Eventually the guy got out of his car. He came over to my cab and asked if I had stopped to give him a lift. I was stunned.

"He was absolutely not with it, so I told him no. But he insisted and came around the other side of the truck and tried to get in the passenger door.

"When it finally dawned on him that i wouldn't give in, he walked off down the verge."

Police arrived to breathalyse both men, which proved negative. Drug tests carried out on the singer at a police station also proved negative. He was subsequently released at 6am.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: "The driver of a Range Rover, a 46-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of being unfit through drink or drugs. He was later released without charge. The road was closed until 3.20am."

A spokesman for Michael told the newspaper said reports he had been arrested were "rubbish".

Your Thoughts Appreciated ...

The text for this post has been pulled due to claims of copyright infringement. Someone is claiming that I reprinted quotes from a book that had already compiled Keith Richards quotes from OTHER SOURCES. The book in question does not contain any original quotes that were the result of any interviews conducted for that particular book. Rather, much of the book is merely a compilation of quotes taken from interviews from OTHER books, magazines, and television programs; the book is a secondary source, not producing any original quotes. The person claiming copyright infringement (who I have come to assume is the compiler of the book in question) claims to have taken legal action. Therefore, to avoid any further complications, I have decided to delete the text of all posts containing the Keith Richards quotes, including those quotes retrieved online or through other various magazines/media outlets/books (even though those original sources have not made a copyright infringement claim against me). For further discussion on this event, please see the Comment Section for the post of July 22, 2009.
