George Michael was recently spotted cruising with a couple of guys even as his relationship with Kenny Goss is in the doldrums, it has emerged.

The singer was reportedly seen boozing and smoking cannabis joints in the morning as he snuggled up to one of the mates aboard his luxury yacht.

George, 46, had a good time with the guys over beer and coffee, as they enjoyed the early-morning spin round Sydney Harbour.

"It's a different kind of cruising in Sydney but George still seemed to be enjoying himself," the Daily Star quoted an onlooker, as saying.

The witness added: "They were having a whale of a time. George and one lad in a pink shirt looked especially close, snuggling and getting up-close and personal."

However, George's attitude could further deteriorate his relationship with Kenny. Kenny's pals say George's snaps having a gala time with other fellas will "drive a nail through his heart".

The duo broke up last year but Kenny, 50, and George kissed and reunited in October.

But Kenny's pals are afraid these snaps could end everything between them.

One friend said: "We've been begging Kenny to leave George, but he always goes back.

"Maybe now he'll see sense. Their relationship has been struggling for months but he can't make the break.

"It's bad for Kenny as George isn't always the most savoury character to be around, and it's bad for George. It lets him continue his unhealthy lifestyle.

"They always say they have an open relationship, but seeing your fella with another man will be a nail through Kenny's heart."

However a spokesman for George said: "The man in the picture is just a friend." (ANI)
