A famous face joined punters for a pint in a Lancaster pub at the weekend.

Rock musician John Waite – best known for his 1984 hit single, Missing You – turned up at The Tap House yesterday, September 8, where he posed for this picture with pub boss Bill Johnston.

John, who is from Lancaster, spent time at the Gage Street venue listening to resident jazz band, The Sun Street Stompers.

He was over from the States visiting his mum.

“The rock musician is over from the States, once again, visiting his mum. Thanks for calling in John and see you next time.”
