Stereophonics were chased for two miles by the Canadian border police after the driver of their tour bus ignored police calls to pull over recently. The police were after the bus because it had been illegally parked, but once they caught up with the vehicle decided to look for evidence of any other crimes they could find too, leading to an extensive search of the bus. Chief Phonic Kelly Jones called the border guards "aggressive", and told The Sun: "One of the guards started talking about a guy who used to smuggle drugs through bands' equipment. I said: 'Are you talking about Howard Marks? He's my friend.' You can imagine the rest".
