Singer Rick Springfield has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

The 80s rocker, who had a big hit with Jessie’s Girl, was reportedly pulled over by cops in his 1960s Corvette.

Springfield, 61, came to the attention of cops as he sped down a street in Malibu just after 8pm on Sunday night.

He was immediately pulled over by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for a traffic violation.

But when officers approached the vehicle, they apparently noticed the smell of booze and asked Springfield to perform several field sobriety tests.

According to TMZ.com, Springfield performed poorly on the sobriety tests – and was then arrested on suspicion of DUI.

Law enforcement revealed the singer’s blood alcohol content was measured at .10. The legal limit in California is .08.

Springfield was taken to a nearby jail – where he was booked and released on his own recognizance just after 2am.
