George Michael is getting his life back on track with a starring role in a new comedy/drama. The singer pleaded guilty on Tuesday to driving while unfit due to drug use. Police found him slumped at the wheel of his car in London last October.

However, the optimistic 43-year-old is confident he can turn his life around with a stint on TV.

He says, "I'm going to have the most phenomenal year - even though there are people who'd like me to experience a tough time. There's an American tour planned and I'm starring in a big US comedy drama called Ellie Stone with Jonny Lee Miller. The writers want to name each episode after my songs."
