Simpson's defense attorney, Yale Galanter, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Ex-Beatle Ringo Starr came back to where he once belonged Friday to kick-start Liverpool's year in the spotlight as a European Capital of Culture.
Starr joined Eurythmics front man Dave Stewart in headlining a spectacular outdoor concert, featuring about 600 local musicians, acrobats and children performing from rooftops and on construction cranes - a symbol of the industrial city's regeneration.
From a platform above the neoclassical St George's Hall, Starr belted out his latest single Liverpool 8 to the 40,000-strong crowd.
"Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around," he sang.
Starr said before the ceremony that although Liverpool was always rich for the arts, the Capital of Culture is a big boost.
On Saturday, the drummer also starred in Liverpool, The Musical, a showcase of the city's rich musical heritage that also features the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Farm and up-and-coming rockers, The Wombats.
