According to the Daily Star, the members of Arctic Monkeys have been forced to purchase fake IDs so that they can drink during the course of their current US tour. As you will know, the drinking age in America is 21, and they are all, of course, under that age.
The tabloid claims that the band's James Cook said: "We've all had to buy fake ID cards for ourselves off a couple of students at one of our gigs. It's either that or don't go out and get stuck in, which isn't really on. We've got away with it so far and no-one's questioned us at the bar, even though the pictures on them don't look like us at all."
Well, the US might have foolish drinking laws, but I'm not sure I can approve of such criminal behaviour. Tut tut.
