Rock star son failed breath test

Ferry's breath test showed he was 20 micrograms over the legal limit

Singer Bryan Ferry's son, Otis, has admitted drink driving after changing his plea half way through a trial at Stroud Magistrates' Court.

Ferry, 23, of Eaton Mascott near Shrewsbury, is accused of being over the alcohol limit when he was stopped in Cirencester for driving too slowly.

Police became suspicious of Ferry when he was spotted driving 20mph in a 30mph limit on Somerford Road in Cirencester.

Ferry has been granted unconditional bail and could face losing his licence.

'Correct procedure'

The courts heard that Ferry admitted drinking during the evening but did not think he had consumed enough to take him over the limit.

His counsel Phillip Lucas, said: "The issue is his genuine belief that he hadn't consumed enough alcohol to put him over the legal limit. That has been his belief and remains his belief.

"Having heard the evidence he is satisfied that the correct procedure was followed and that the Crown has proved his case and for that reason there has been a change of plea."

Ferry, son of the Roxy Music frontman Bryan, will be sentenced on 16 October at Gloucester Magistrates' Court
