The eldest son of rocker Phil Collins has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of drug dealing.

Musician Simon Collins, 37, was quizzed by police in Wiltshire, England over allegations of supplying Class A drugs and possessing Class B drugs.

He has since been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Collins, singer and drummer with rock band Sound of Contact, is the former Genesis star's son from his first marriage to Canadian Andrea Bertorelli.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police tells Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper, "A 37-year-old man from Devizes has been arrested for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and for possession of a class B drug."
