JAILED George Michael has received a hand-written letter from Sir Paul McCartney.
Macca wrote to the singer to lift his spirits while he serves time for his drug-fuelled car smash.
Pals said the Beatles legend, 68, "empathised" with the Wham! star's plight after he spent ten days in prison in Tokyo 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.
A source said: "He got the letter on Monday and was really chuffed. Sir Paul said he would see him soon and told George to keep his chin up.
"The letter was two pages long and George read it over and over again."
