A Wham! fan who infuriated neighbours by blasting out their hit Last Christmas all night has been prosecuted by council officials.
Brian Turner, of Doncaster Road, Newcastle, repeatedly played the festive favourite at full volume one night in May.
Gosforth magistrates heard how Turner visited friends in nearby Walker on 15 May and played the song relentlessly from 0100 BST until 0400 BST.
Finally a neighbour snapped and called in the noise squad, who eventually gave residents peace by seizing the stereo.
A city council spokesman said: "The music was so loud from the flat that officers could clearly identify the track being played as Last Christmas by Wham!"
Magistrates fined Turner £200 and ordered him to pay £215 costs.
