Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins (pictured, second left) has been arrested by the police following child sex allegations.
BBC News reports that the singer, 35, of Pontypridd, South Wales, will appear before Cardiff magistrates on Wednesday.
The charges in question are related to sexual activity with a girl under 13 and possession of indecent images of children.
Lostprophets scored a UK #1 album back in 2006 with Liberation Transmission. Their latest album, Weapons, came out earlier this year.
