The 19-year-old revealed: "Everybody has made mistakes in their lives. The song about him says everything I want to say. A lot has happened in his life and he has been through a lot. "I love my brother and I will stand by him forever." Daniel was sent to prison in 2000 after attempting to hold up a post office with a hammer. He escaped jail in 2003, just two months before he was due to be released, and went on the run before being cornered by police following a high speed car chase. He was given another prison sentence and was recently released.

Skillin, who has the same mother as Joss Stone, is thought to have encouraged his half-sister early in her career. The singer detailed her feelings in the track ’Daniel’, which includes the lines: "At times he comes across selfish. But he aint a bad person, this I know. "He lies, he cheats, his stealings make me cry till I stop breathing." Daniel is now living at the family home in Ashill, Devon.

Joss Stone has landed her first movie role - Oct 05
The teenage soul singer will make her acting debut alongside soccer star David Beckham in the upcoming sequel to football film ’Goal!’. The blonde beauty will play a femme fatale who tries to steal the leading man, played by Mexican heartthrob Kuno Becker, from his long-term girlfriend, played by Anna Friel.

An insider revealed to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: "Joss is really pleased they’ve decided to go for her, even though she’s not a trained actress. "The role is kind of different to the way most people see her, as she’s going to have to play a bit of a bitch - that’s what she’s looking forward to most!"

Although the role may include some steamy scenes, Joss recently slammed female stars who pose semi-naked for magazines.
The soul sensation - who has refused several offers to strip for men’s magazines - says ambitious celebrities who appear topless or in bikini’s in steamy photo shoots are "disgusting" and are demeaning themselves. She said: "It’s disgusting the way these girls prance around in their
knickers on the cover of FHM. I can understand it if you’re a model, but if you’re a singer it undermines everything and suggests you’re actually rubbish at what you do".
