Is George Michael Unwelcome at the 2009 Brit Awards?
October 20, 2008 — A source at contactmusic.com says that George Michael’s name has been struck from the upcoming 2009 Brit Awards, in the wake of his recent drug bust for both Class A and Class C drugs in a North London public toilet. Pre-award rumors say that Michael was nominated for the coveted Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, but a press leak suggests that he is no longer in contention, and the recent drug scandal may be to blame.
