Blow Patrol: Snow-man in court on cocaine rap
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly July 12th, 2007

Snow Patrol keyboardist Tom Simpson will appear in court at the end of the month on charges of being a filthy druggy sicko.

It's alleged that Simpson and an associate were caught in possession of cocaine in Glasgow last summer - and arrested again last weekend after performing at Live Earth.

A warrant was put out following his absence from a previous court hearing.

Simpson also shares a name with a legendary British cyclist who 'rode himself to death' on stage 13 of the 1967 Tour de France. What did the post-mortem reveal? A fatal mixture of alcohol and amphetamines. Is this not warning enough, Simpson? Sort it out.
