It was reinstated in September 2004 after he participated in a driver retraining program, did road work with a certified driving instructor and received medical clearance.

Surely, in a modern music history that has given us Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder and so many other greats, that title was more than a bit inflated.
