Ian Brown Faces Driving Ban Ahead Of The Stone Roses Reunion

The Stone Roses' Ian Brown is facing a driving ban this week after pleading guilty to a speeding charge.

Brown failed to appear at Stoke Magistrates Court last Thursday and will now reportedly face a driving ban after he was caught driving at 93mph in a 40mph zone last October, reports The Mirror.

Judge David Taylor was "angered" by the star for changing his plea to guilty at the last minute, adding: "This will lead to disqualification."

As previously reported on Gigwise, Brown appeared in court back in October where he was given a £650 fine by Chester magistrates and also received six penalty points for speeding in his Lexus on the M6 in April earlier this year.

His lawyer Nick Freeman argued that a driving ban would make it difficult for him to see his 11-year-old son who lives in London while he rehearses for The Stone Roses' reunion gigs in Manchester

The Stone Roses, who announced their reunion at a press conference last month, plan to play three hometown shows at Manchester's Heaton Park on June 29, 30 and 31, as well as going on an extensive world tour.
