Simpson was accused of possessing Class A drugs in Glasgow in June 2006 . He was arrested on 7 July 2007 in RAF Northolt , Middlesex , which put the band 's headlining set the next day ( at T in the Park ) in jeopardy . He was held at London 's Heathrow Airport , mere hours after the band played at Live Earth , which made him miss the Oxegen 2007 performance that night . The band had started searching for a replacement for Simpson , who however , was released in time to play at T in the Park . All charges against him and a friend were later dropped
