George Michael To Give Evidence In News Of The World Hacking Scandal

George Michael is due to give evidence in the phone hacking case against the News of the World.

The singer revealed over Twitter that British authorities have asked him to be interviewed over his comments regarding News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks.

He broke the news to fans over Twitter: ''Just spoke to my lawyer.... apparently they want to interview me about my comments on Rebekah Brooks here on twitter...''

George Michael recently posted a series of Tweets over the News of the World scandal, saying: ''Rebekah Brooks sat two feet from me in my own home and told me that it was never the public that came to them with information or celebrities, and that the police always got there first.''

As previously reported, The Sunday paper closed following claims that it hacked into the phones of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler and family members of 7/7 bombing victims.
