Former Icicle Works frontman Ian McNabb will no longer join the Liverpool Beatles Museum's Liverpool Legends Hall of Fame after publicly defending Russell Brand. The 66-year-old singer claimed online that Brand, jailed this week for rape and sexual assault, had been stitched up over his outspoken views. The museum shelved the honour, and a Scottish promoter has cancelled his gigs in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle.
