He's long held a dim view of the paper - and George Michael celebrated the demise of the News Of The World last night with an impromptu party.
The 48-year-old star was spotted out last night on the streets of London's Soho carousing with friends and a bottle of Grey Goose vodka.
Looking smart and fit in an all-black outfit, the Careless Whisper star had been at Diu nightclub but left with friends to go to another man's flat in Old Compton Street
He posted on his Twitter this morning: 'hey everyone, had to go out and celebrate in Old Compton St . had a blast, but (don't) worry, had two glasses of wine, danced my arse off...
'But was sensible enough to be home by 2.30! it started to be a bit like a gay benny hill skit, had to make a dash for it!!'
