View singer Kyle Falconer accused of homophobic abuse

Dundee musician Kyle Falconer is accused of hurling homophobic abuse at male cabin crew on a flight home from Spain.

The View frontman, 29, is said to have shouted, sworn and acted aggressively towards fellow passengers while armed with two bottles.

Falconer was arrested in June after allegedly becoming enraged on board a Jet2 flight between Reus Airport and Glasgow International Airport.

The Dundee singer was hauled off the plane by French police in Nantes after the captain made an emergency stop to have him removed.

The musician later travelled back to Scotland where he was arrested by officers from Police Scotland over his alleged behaviour on the June 17 flight.

Falconer – famous for hits Same Jeans, Wasted Little DJs and Shock Horror – is now being prosecuted at Paisley Sheriff Court over what took place on the plane.

Court documents show that Falconer faces two charges of alleged threatening and abusive behaviour.

He is accused of behaving “in a threatening or abusive manner which was likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm” by shouting, swearing and acting aggressively towards other passengers “whilst in possession of two bottles”.

And he faces a second charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by hurling homophobic abuse at a cabin crew member on board the flight.

The details of the charges against Falconer emerged this week ahead of a scheduled court hearing next week.

Falconer was originally due to appear in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court over his behaviour on the flight on Monday, June 19.

But he had a six-hour wait for a hearing that never took place, arriving at the Renfrewshire court in the morning and leaving with his fiancee around 4pm without appearing in the dock.
