British singer George Michael has been cruising the streets for illegal gay sex once again and was caught on tape after a romp with a 58-year-old van driver in a London park.

The 43-year-old singer was snapped by the tabloid News of the World after he emerged from the bushes with a baseball cap to cover his face.

When snapped by the paparazzi, the former Wham! frontman then threatened to sue the paper if any pictures were published before declaring that he was not doing anything illegal.

"I don't believe it! If you put those pictures in the paper I'll sue! Are you gay? No? This is my culture! I'm not doing anything illegal. The police don't even come up here any more. I'm a free man, I can do whatever I want. I'm not harming anyone," News of the World quoted him as saying.

Michael's long term boyfriend Kenny Goss has begged reporters to stop hounding the singer after the notorious homosexual incident in London.

Goss, Michael's partner of 10 years, insists the story will have no effect on his relationship with the former heart-throb singer. Speaking outside Michael's US$9 million mansion Sunday, he said: "George is not going to say anything today. He has already said what he wants. This is behind us. That is everything we are going to say on the subject. We are getting on with the rest of our lives."

The singer was arrested for a similar incident in 1998 when he flashed at an undercover cop in a California park toilet.
