George Michael wows fans at Wembley

LONDON (Reuters) - George Michael became the first singer to appear at the new 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium on Saturday, wowing his fans with favourite hits from his solo career and his days with boy band Wham!

The concert came a day after the 43-year-old pop star was banned from driving for two years and sentenced to 100 hours of community service after admitting driving when unfit due to drugs.

Police had found Michael slumped behind the wheel of his Mercedes at a road junction in London in October.

Michael, who performed a number of times at the old Wembley stadium before it was demolished in 2003, plays a second concert at the rebuilt venue on Sunday.
