A 30 year old man has admitted attacking Les Incompetents singer Billy Leeson earlier this year.

Appearing at Snaresbrook Crown Court today Christian Briggs was warned that he may now face jail after pleading guilty to GBH.

The case has been adjourned until October 23 while the court awaits medical reports and a statement from Leeson about how the attack has affected his life.

The singer was left in a coma for several weeks after the attack on June 22 which took place after Les Incompetents had played at Camden’s Barfly.

Briggs allegedly punched Leeson after an altercation on a bus involving musicians girlfriend.

The band has since split with several members going on to form the new band Ox Eagle Lion Man.
