George Michael says he’s ‘too embarrassing’ to be a father

George Michael says he will never adopt a child because he is ‘too embarrassing’ to be a dad.

The former Wham! star admits he will not follow in Sir Elton John’s footsteps because his kids would be mortified by his wild past.

He said any youngsters would be bullied over his drug and casual sex antics.

Michael, who spent a month in prison for drug-driving last year, spoke out just weeks after pal John, 63, and civil partner David Furnish, 48, became dads.

The Careless Whisper says he would not be going down the same route with his own long-term partner Kenny Goss, 51.

Asked if he would ever consider having children.

“Can you imagine? No, thank God I didn’t. Can you imagine being George Michael’s son at school?” the Daily Star quoted him as telling Radio 2 breakfast.

“I don’t think he is quite as embarrassing as George Michael,” the singer said about Elton.

“It’s a resolute no and I’m 47 and I congratulate Elton and I’m very happy for him but it’s not something that’s in my future,” he said.

George Michael no longer making bid for early release from prison

Singer-songwriter George Michael is no longer making an appeal for an early release from prison.

Michael, 47, had hired lawyers to get him out of Pentonville just three days into his eight-week prison sentence for drug driving.

But they cancelled an application for him to be released on bail pending a full-scale appeal against the sentence, and he is now likely to serve half his sentence before he is freed.

The singer had been due to appear via videolink for a conference with his lawyers before a bail hearing at Blackfriars Crown Court, London.

A clerk for his barrister, Mukul Chawla QC, confirmed the hearing had been pencilled in the lawyer's diary.

"It was in the diary, but now there's nothing in his diary today," the Daily Star quoted the clerk as saying.

A court spokesman added: "It's been cancelled completely. There are no new dates for the hearing."
