well, at least the lovable old smackhead won't be inflicting his music on the public for a while. and he won't have any problems 'scoring' his 'gear' while he's in stir. everyone's a winner!

I can't help but think the man is being victimised. Yes, he is breaking the law, but does the Constabulary arrest every heroin addict on the street? I think not.
They just want the kudos that goes with arresting someone famous because in their world, it's slightly more prestigious than getting someone's autograph.
Shouldn't they be out trying to find the dealers, ye know, the ones that inflict real damage on people.
Nahhh, on second thoughts, that would be too damn hard.
Oops, am I allowed to say 'damn'?

anyone who's listened to 'down in albion' knows who's inflicting the real damage... dealers are performing a valuable social service compared to that shower of public-school slummers.

Okay okay, point taken. Just wondered though, if this is going to set a precedent, and more and more famous rock stars are arrested for possession. Or the situation arising where fans are lifted by them on their way to gigs.

Imprisoning people simply for possessing drugs is sad and misguided. I hope the poor bastard's singing in his cell.

This is exactly what happens when you Brits lose all respect for Royalty and start grokking these classless boors.
No tea; no crumpet, just a bunch of mindless caterwauling over some rich junkie.
Harumph.

Meh, come back when the queen writes 'Don't Look Back Into the Sun' 😛.
