Ian Brown has revealed how he pretended to be a Muslim while in prison.
The iconic former Stone Roses frontman revealed in a recent interview that he temporarily converted to Islam to get better prison food.
Brown served a sentence in 1999 for an air-rage conviction.
He says, "My sister bought me the Koran in 1990. I always thought the stories in it were magical."
"So I'd already had a love affair with it, but when I got in jail the first day, I saw what everyone else was eating."
“I didn't know what the fuck was in the pies, but the lads said if you were Muslim you got chickpeas, lentils, rice, chicken curry on a Friday. So I said my religion was Muslim."
