Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards may have flouted Scotland's smoking ban when he played to thousands fans at Glasgow's Hampden Park.
The city council confirmed it was investigating reports that he smoked on stage throughout the gig on Friday.
The veteran rocker could face a £50 fine and Hampden Park could also face a £250 penalty if officials prove the venue failed to enforce the ban.
The rock 'n' roll legends are on the UK leg of their A Bigger Bang world tour.
A ban on smoking in all public places came into effect in Scotland on 26 March this year.
Hampden Park had introduced its own smoking ban three months before the nationwide ban was introduced.
At the beginning of this month, actor Mel Smith was warned not to smoke during his performance of Churchill in the play Allegiance at the Edinburgh Fringe festival. |

Mike,
We have a similar ban here in Ontario which went into effect in May. No smoking in any bars, restaurants, or even covered outdoor patios. It's just insanity and many businesses are failing because of it.
