George Michael defends smoking crack cocaine

London (ANI): Brit singer George Michael has revealed that he sees nothing wrong with smoking crack cocaine. Michael, 46, who was arrested on London"s Hampstead Heath last year after police found drugs in his possession, found it amusing that people saw him as tragic, reports the Daily Star.

The Guardian newspaper asked him if he was using the drug at that time. “Was I? On that occasion, yeah," he replied. “I"ve done many different things that I shouldn''t have done, once or twice. Of course. Nobody wants to regularly smoke crack," he said.

And he can"t see the harm in his habits, taking a swipe at his pal Sir Elton John for trying to help him conquer his demons. “People want to see me as tragic with all the cottaging and drug-taking. I don"t see them as weaknesses any more. It"s just who I am," he said. “Elton (John) will not be happy until I bang on his door in the middle of the night saying, 'Please, please, help me, Elton. Take me to rehab." It"s not going to happen," he added.
