Pete Tong Granted Restraining Order Against Massive Attack Singer

Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong has been granted a restraining order against a Massive Attack collaborator who claimed to be his wife.

A court hear that Shara Nelson, who sang on the group's 1991 single 'Unfinished Sympathy', harassed Tong with nuisance calls and also told colleagues at work she was his manager.

According to The Sun, she also falsely told the court her surname was Tong and that she had married the DJ and had his child.

She caused "distress and embarrassment" to Tong, the court heard.

Nelson has been banned from contacting the 51-year-old, and given a 12-month community order and 80 hours community service at a West London magistrates court.

Tong has been a long-standing club DJ and host of Radio 1's Essential Mix.
