Thread: Simon Collins charges dropped!

    Simon Collins charges dropped!

    Sound Of Contact frontman thanks fans for support and emphasises: “Claims were completely untrue”
    Simon Collins has confirmed the drug charges levelled against him earlier this year have been dropped, and the police investigation into the matter has been closed.

    The Sound Of Contact frontman, son of Genesis’ Phil Collins, was arrested in Wiltshire in July on suspicion of dealing class A drugs.

    In a statement to TeamRock, Collins says: “Being arrested was in itself a very confusing experience. To find myself implicated in something so serious has made the last few months extremely difficult, both personally and professionally.

    “I am grateful to finally be able to tell you all that these claims were completely untrue, and I am pleased to confirm that the matter in relation to myself was closed by the police at the end of September. No charges were filed against me.

    “I’d like to thank all of those close to me, my family, friends and all of my fans who have supported me throughout this difficult and stressful time.”

    Collins adds: “I’d now simply like to get back to my life and concentrate on writing material for the new album.”

    If he does, the only future for him will be in the fire escape trade!

    The police were alerted but they considered the phone call a hoax.

    What they said's not so. They'll never let him go.

    I thought he was In Too Deep in the Land of Confusion while Throwing it All Away and Taking It All Too Hard, but the Domino fell his way Like It or Not while Behind the Lines. That's all.

    Against all odds. ;-)

    I'm happy for him. It would really suck to be incarcerated.
