(10/8/01, 10 a.m. ET) -- Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay is scheduled to appear in court today (October 8) to face charges of assaulting a photographer. The incident occurred outside the Attica nightclub on London's West End on April 14.
Scotland Yard press officer Alistair Campbell told LAUNCH due to judicial laws in the U.K. he wasn't at liberty to discuss the matter in detail. Campbell did give LAUNCH the basic facts of the case. "Well, there was an allegation of assault and criminal damage in April of this year," he explained. "He was arrested later, a few weeks later. He was charged with criminal damage to a camera and a common assault, which is a minor assault, on a photographer. The camera belonged to the photographer."
Jamiroquai's latest album, A Funk Odyssey, was released in the U.S. last month and the first single from the album is "Little L." The band is currently touring Europe and is scheduled to play Rotterdam, Netherlands on Tuesday (October 9).
