And elsewhere in pop court news, Bay City Roller Les McKeown has admitted driving under the influence and crashing his car whilst more than twice the legal limit, as well as leaving the scene of an accident in North London back in 2004. Thames Magistrates heard how he was tracked down and subjected to a road side breath test after a witness called police, but initially he claimed that he had not been driving the car and had just returned from a meeting with Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. The former pop star’s lawyer claimed that McKeown had "effectively panicked" when he walked away from the incident.
The singer was granted unconditional bail but was warned by the judge "If you are found driving while disqualified you will be sent to prison." McKeown will be sentenced on 12 May. It’s not the first time McKeown, who still tours with an updated version of the group known as the Legendary Bay City Rollers, has faced driving charges, as he was convicted of reckless driving after a woman's death in 1975.
