Liam Gallagher’s youngest son and Ringo Starr’s grandson will stand trial in March next year for allegedly attacking and racially abusing Tesco workers as they tried to buy drink in a shop near their Hampstead homes.
Gene Gallagher, 20, Beatles drummer Starr’s grandson Sonny Starkey, 19, and IMG model Noah Ponte, 20, are accused of fighting in a Tesco Express in Hampstead, north London on May 17, 2019.
Ponte is accused of stealing a can of beer at midnight after the shop had stopped selling alcohol, an earlier hearing was told.

The 20-year-old is also said to have told a South Asian worker: ‘You bloody Indians. Go back to where you came from. You’re not wanted here.’
Gallagher, Starkey, and Ponte are charged with affray, while Gallagher and Ponte are also accused of racially aggravated assault.
Ponte is also charged with theft and assault by beating, Wood Green Crown Court was told today. Starkey is facing two charges of assault by beating two Tesco workers.
A judge at Wood Green Crown Court today set a trial date for the trio for March 28 next year. None of the defendants were present in court for the brief hearing.
Alexander Agbamu, prosecuting, told an earlier hearing: ‘Factually it’s a very straightforward case, much of the incident was captured on CCTV, that which isn’t is described by eyewitnesses, by those who are described as the alleged victims.’
