Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie has received damages and an apology from the News of the World over allegations he had split from his fiancÈe Katy England and was having an affair with supermodel Kate Moss. The paper made the allegations in an article headlined 'It Moss Be Love'.
But today the tabloid admitted the story was wrong and apologised to the singer and England for the "distress and injury" they had caused. The couple will now receive damages from the paper.
Speaking to the Guardian, Gillespie's solicitor Gerrard Tyrrell said today: "The claimants are in fact happily engaged and living together. The claimants are both good and longstanding friends of Kate Moss and are both godparents to her daughter."
