GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -- Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards may have violated Scotland's new smoking ban by lighting up during a concert.
The Glasgow City Council said Sunday it had heard from journalists that Richards was smoking during a Friday night performance.
"It's been brought to our attention that he was smoking, and we'll be looking into it," a council spokesman said on condition of anonymity in keeping with city policy. "We do take our responsibilities for enforcement very seriously."
Scotland's ban on smoking in enclosed public places, including theaters and sports venues, came into force in March.
Violators can be fined up to £50 pounds.
The spokesman did not know whether the journalists who spoke to the council had been at the concert, part of the band's "A Bigger Bang" tour.
No one answered the phone Sunday at the offices of Richards' publicists, LD Communications in London.
In the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, officials warned during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival earlier this month that they would close down a theater if actor Mel Smith lit a cigar during his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the play "Allegiance" as he had promised to do. Smith eventually agreed to keep the cigar unlit.
