The singer, whose real name is George O’Dowd, is on trial for the false imprisonment of 29-year-old Audun Carlsen.

O’Dowd says in a police recording played Monday that he asked Carlsen to come to his apartment. O’Dowd says he wanted to ask Carlsen if he had tampered with his laptop.

The ‘80s pop icon has a history of drug abuse and served a community service sentence in 2006 in the United States after falsely reporting a burglary.
