The Sun reports:

State broadcaster RTP hinted the gun attack on the Birmingham-born musician may be deliberate and not random by saying witnesses had told police the burglars had asked for him before shooting him in the left leg. It also claimed investigators had discovered drugs including cocaine and cannabis resin inside the luxury home on the Algarve.
