The keyboardist was due to face court proceedings after being charged with possession of a Class A drug.

However, the charge has now been brought into question as the case was "not called", after which a spokeswoman for the Crown Office said proceedings would be dropped, as they were no longer appropriate after getting more information was received from Strathclyde Police.
