Fran has run in with junkie on Glasgow street

Travis' Fran Healy has described an encounter with a drug addict during an impromptu Glasgow busking session raising money for the Big Issue.

Travis' Fran Healy has told the Daily Record about a run in with a junkie on the streets of Glasgow during an impromptu busking session performed by the band. Apparently midway through a rendition of 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?', a drug addict approached Healy with a syringe shouting: "Give me money, give me money for a fix."

Fran told the Daily Record: "I just kept thinking, 'Don't stick that in me'. It was the maddest thing we've seen. I kept expecting to find a syringe stuck up my arse."

The impromptu street gig was set up to raise cash for the Big Issue.
