George Michael has been given an eight-week sentence for crashing his car while under the influence of cannabis.
He was also fined £1,250 at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court in London and given a five-year driving ban.
The 47-year-old singer was arrested in July in Hampstead, north London after driving his Range Rover into a branch of photographic store Snappy Snaps.
Last month he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis.
The singer was told then that his offences were "a serious matter" and that he could face imprisonment.
Michael will serve four weeks in prison, with the rest of his sentence spent out on licence under the supervision of the probation service.
The pop star was greeted by a horde of photographers as he arrived at court earlier.
In 2007 he admitted another charge of driving while unfit through use of drugs at Brent Magistrates Court in London.
Michael was found slumped at the wheel of his car in the early hours of 4 July having crashed it into the store frontage.
He was arrested and taken to Hampstead police station, where he was found to be carrying cannabis cigarettes.
Michael shot to fame as half of pop duo Wham! before embarking on a successful career as a solo artist.

Didn't George Michael buy a place in Sydney? If he has he wont be able to use it. Australia has a blanket ban on anyone with drug convitions.

Apparently, my definition of "successful" and theirs vary somewhat...
Thank-you for pointing out the obvious... Miss Points-out-the-obvious.

Well it's a British paper CP and he had a huge solo career in the UK at least...
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?
Re: He'll be like a kid in a sweety shop
that's not me
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Getting caught sucking off old men in toilets, and getting stoned and crashing, isn't really part of his "career".As one of the world's best-selling music artists, Michael has sold over 100 million records worldwide as of 2010, encompassing 7 UK #1 singles, 7 UK #1 albums, 8 U.S #1 singles, and 1 U.S #1 album.
His 1987 debut solo album, Faith has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and made several records and achievements in the United States.
In 2004, Radio Academy named Michael as the most played artist on British radio between the period of 1984–2004.
