Beatles legend Paul McCartney decided to cheer up George Michael by sending a handwritten letter to the singer, who is serving a jail term. Macca wrote to the singer to lift his spirits while he serves time for his drug-fuelled car smash. The 68-year-old singer “empathised” with the “Wham!” star’s plight after he spent 10 days in a Tokyo prison in 1980 after being caught with cannabis.
George, 47, has served two weeks of his eight-week sentence and could be out on licence in a fortnight from category C jail Highpoint in Suffolk, the Sun reported. “He got the letter on Monday and was really chuffed. Sir Paul said he will see him soon and told George to keep his chin up. The letter was two-pages long,” a source said. —PTI
