GLASVEGAS CAUGHT UP IN GERMAN SECURITY SCARE

British rockers GLASVEGAS found themselves at the centre of a German police drama on Friday (21Nov08) when armed officers charged onto their tourbus in a security false alarm.
The four-piece, currently on tour in Europe, were travelling through Munich on Friday afternoon ahead of their show at the Atomic Cafe when their vehicle was halted and armed forces stormed on board, reports NME.com.
The bandmembers were each searched - until it emerged the incident had been a mistake after strict security measures were put in place following the visit of German president Horst Kohler and Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili that day.
A Glasvegas spokesperson tells the website the group was forced to remain on the bus until the leaders had left the area.
