Confront the unpleasant consequences (4,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

face the music

(Other definitions for face the music that I've seen before include "as should a 13 across [PAGE TURNER] ?" , "Take responsibility" , "Confront consequence of one's actions" , "Accept unpleasant consequences of one's actions" , "Pianist will usually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
