George Michael has been found slumped over the wheel of his car... again.

The troubled singer - who was cautioned for possessing cannabis after he was found asleep at the wheel in February - was photographed apparently snoozing at London traffic lights.

The star - who was also involved in a car accident earlier this month - didn't wake up until another driver rapped on his window.

The motorist told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "He was sweating heavily and had his iPod on. That's probably why he didn't hear all the angry tooting behind him.

"He got going again - but was weaving all over the place. Then he hit a bollard. I doubt he even noticed it. He looked wasted. He just drove on."

Meanwhile, the singer's cousin, Andreas Georgiou, has claimed Michael - who was arrested for a lewd act in a public toilet in Los Angeles in 1998 - spends hours cruising the streets looking for gay lovers.

He recently revealed: "George cruises. That's a big part of his life. That's what the driving is all about."

He added: "After the LA incident, George even told me, 'Andreas, that's what I do. I just fancied getting a w**k in the afternoon. I get off on it'."
