Disgraced paedophile and rock star Ian Watkins has reportedly been stabbed in the neck with his life hanging in the balance after a targeted attack at HMP Wakefield
Former Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins is said to have been taken to hospital after a vicious attack at a prison in West Yorkshire.
Sources also added that the 46-year-old had been a walking target in the jail when the opportunity to attack occurred due to the presence of less staff on duty. Stunned onlookers were said to have watched on as a specialised riot team of expertly-trained officers, known as an armed Tornado team, hurled stun grenades into Ian's cell in order to free him as the prison wing turned into chaos and was put on lockdown.
The disgraced singer was arrested following the execution of a drugs warrant at his Pontypridd home on September 21 2012 when a large number of computers, mobile phones and storage devices were seized.At the start of the trial, Ian changed his plea, claiming he couldn't remember the his actions because he was high on crystal meth.
