Kandinsky “Spark Out”
Shamed singer Tony Kandinsky has admitted his arrest on suspicion of possessing drugs was “stupid – whatever – my own fault.”
The former Blue Rider star was taken into custody yesterday after being found out cold in his car in London’s West End. A Good Samaritan who phoned emergency services spotted the semi-conscious star, 41, slumped at the wheel of his Saab 900 convertible, outside the Commoners Club. Police and an ambulance raced to the scene.
After making sure he had no obvious injury, officers breath-tested and searched the millionaire star. Police allegedly found cocaine and heroin on his person and in the Saab. A breath test proved positive.
Flash Tony, whose smash eighties hits included The Colour (of Love) – was arrested on suspicion of possessing controlled substances and driving while unfit through alcohol.
One witness said, “Tony was spark out – he looked a right old state. He could hardly speak.” The ex-Blue Rider star was taken to London’s West End Central police station and kept in a cell overnight…

These are very different, Richard! Have you stopped your street photography for now, to write? I have missed them though this project seems interesting. Just checked and still subscribed. Don’t want to miss any.
Ha, yes. No, I’ve stopped street photography because I’ve got a dodgy shoulder and am not sleeping well… 😦 Can’t seem to concentrate very well atm. All the text pieces are from a novel I was writing when I started the blog – in 2011! I wasn’t cut out for novelising 🙂
