Liam Gallagher was charged with assault yesterday in an Australian court after he allegedly headbutted a fan outside the band's hotel. He was granted A$10,000 (£5,000) bail in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court after being charged with assault occasioning bodily harm. The penalty for the offence can range from a fine to imprisonment.
Eric Clapton (52), a recovered heroin addict, said he is furious that young people seem unable to heed repeated warnings about drug abuse.
"It's like Jimi (Hendrix) died for nothing, like there was nothing to be learned from a master musician choking on his vomit," he said in USA Today.
Candice Vignon, who is standing for France's National Front party, is also a part-time stripper.
