R&B star R. Kelly has missed a court appearance in Chicago because of bad weather.
Kelly claims weather, and that his bus driver was forced by police to rest for 8 hours, is the reason he was a no-show in court. He claims the driver had to take a mandatory 8 hour rest after he was stopped in Utah.Kelly also denies media reports that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.
The Chicago Sun-Times earlier reported that Judge Vincent Gaughan, who was presiding over a child porn case Kelly is connected with, issued the warrant.
Kelly was due in court to face further charges after it was alleged that he videotaped himself having sex with a 13 year old girl. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The case has now been rescheduled for Thursday.
