Phil Collins' eldest son Simon Collins has been arrested on suspicion of supplying class A drugs.
Simon, lead singer of rock band Sound of Contact, was also questioned by police over possession of a class B drug, according to reports.
Over the weekend Wiltshire police said: "A 37-year-old man from Devizes has been arrested for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs and for possession of a class B drug."
The musician has since been released on bail pending further enquiries, reports the Daily Mail.

He later released a statement denying the charges: "I refute the allegations presented in the press today but due to the obvious legal implications at the time, I am unable to comment further."
Simon is the son of Phil and first wife Andrea Bertorelli and half brother of actress Lily Collins.
He first became interested in music when he was just five after his dad bought him a drum kit and fans say his voice is identical to his father's.
The band released their debut album Dimensionaut in May 2013.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that he did not join the All Progressive Congress (APC) so as to run for the Presidency in 2015, but to nurture the party and ensure that good governance is entrenched in Nigeria come 2015. Atiku who spoke in an interview with the BBC Hausa service, monitored in Kaduna on Monday, maintained that if it were because of a presidential ambition, he had clear chances of occupying the number one seat when he was in office with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, or even recently when he was in the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN ). He said he let that go in the interest of the nation. Atiku vowed that he would never return to the PDP, saying that from all indications, the party would no longer be what it used to be.
