Maneskin address Eurovision drug taking accusations live on stage

Måneskin made their return to the Eurovision stage with brand new single Supermodel. The group first found fame in Italy on the X-factor and quickly became favourites to win during last year's competition.

The band is fronted by singer Damiano David and includes guitarist Victoria De Angelis, musician Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio. At the end of their performance the lead singer warned this year's winners ‘Don’t get too close to the table’, referring to the allegations that the lead singer was taking illegal drugs during the live final, who was seen lowering his head behind a bucket of drinks.

The band immediately denied these rumours on Instagram and Damiano took a drug test, which came back negative. Eurovision's organisers said in a statement: "No drug use took place in the Green Room and we consider the matter closed."
