Snow Patrol keyboardist Tom Simpson was detained by police ahead of the band's headlining gig at T in the Park.

He was arrested in Middlesex on Saturday after missing a court appearance in Glasgow. The musician was later released and was due to play with his band.

Meanwhile, Amy Winehouse pulled out of her appearance citing exhaustion. Geoff Ellis, festival organiser, commented: "We just hope she can take a bit of rest and get back to her best."

The festival had to turn away cars on Friday because bad weather had turned car parks into a quagmire.
