Kasabian brace themselves for difficult New York gig
Tom Meighan, Kasabian frontman is bracing himself for an 'emotional' show in New York next week as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The British band are preparing o play one of their more poignany gigs in the Big Apple over the weekend of 10-11 September.
Meighan tells The Sun: "It will be strange for us playing in the city on such a big weekend for New York people. It will be emotional.
"I was at work and remember hearing 9/11 unfold on the radio. I remember going home and being in absolute shock. My mum had it on the news. It was f**king awful."
Bandmate Serge Pizzorno recalls: "Looking back to 9/11, I was at work. I went round Tom's on my way home. I'd always go in for a tea and I was sat watching it with his mum when Tom came home from work. We were watching it in his front room. We were like everyone, thinking it was just mental."
Almost 3,000 people died in the terror attacks on the US in 2001.
