On Monday (11 July) he tweeted: "So sorry to bore those of you who live outside of the UK, but the phone hacking scandal is so important to the future of Britain."
Michael's sustained and cheerful tweeting over the paper's demise -- the last edition of the 168-year-old tabloid was on Sunday -- followed a series of tweets after the announcement of the paper's closure on Thursday.
Over the weekend, Michael tweeted that he had been told by Brooks, a former editor of the News Of The World and The Sun, where information about his various transgressions had come from.
This morning he tweeted: "Just spoke to my lawyer.... apparently they want to interview me about my comments on Rebekah Brooks here on twitter..."
In 2007, Michael was sentenced for being unfit to drive under the influence of drugs following an incident in north London in 2006, and in July 2010 drove his vehicle into a photo-developing store near his home, also while under the influence of cannabis. He was sentenced and spent four weeks in prison.
Amongst his tweets, Michael also said: "Don't get me wrong, I met (a lot !) of perfectly decent policemen and women in my darkest, most shameful hours, but I knew that the press would get to my house before I did. On every occasion, some little creep in that police station would have called the press...."
News International made the decision to axe the tabloid on Thursday after allegations the paper's reporters had hacked into the phones of teenage murder victim Milly Dowler and the families of the Soham murder victims.
