I've no idea if this story is true, but there have been reports that Kasabian were going to have to pay to watch the Rolling Stones this weekend, even though they were the band's support act. Apparently if the Kasabian boys wanted to go and watch the Stones play from front of house they would have had to shell out for a £150/200 ticket.
The Mirror quote the band's Tom Meighan as saying: "It's quite incredible. We're fucking supporting them! So if we get kicked off the stage we've got to buy a ticket, which is about 200 quid".
But he stressed he had no hard feelings towards the Stones themselves: "It's probably Americans who are running it, not Jagger. And Richards isn't going to know what's fucking going on, is he?"
And he waxed lyrical once again about what a thrill it was to open for Jagger et al: "It is a fucking absolute honour you know, they're gods, ain't they? I mean Mick Jagger, Richards, it's just yeah... Shit like that blows your mind again, you know. It just happens so fast sometimes that I just don't know how to take it, but it's a wonderful thing, man."
