Yesterday my girlfriend and me both woke up to news alerts on our phones about Tom Meighan leaving Kasabian due to "personal issues" - this provided a laugh as neither of us are fans and thought it was great that google news felt it that important to alert us to.

Today I see some reference on Twitter about them and assault. Fucking hell the "personal issues" were that he lamped his ex-fianceeĀ https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-53319170Ā (also lookingĀ like Hugh Laurie there).

I can't remember seeing such a PR swerve, perhaps the band couldn't release more detail, but fuck me maybe wait until this comes out and condone it rather than giving a vague PR like that leading to people (morons) going "gutted tbh m8, luved seein u @ v festival".

I saw it later in the day on twitter. People thanking him for being such a great lead singer and saying no Kasabian without him etc. I bet they are kicking themselves today. I think it's really tasteless

Thanks for letting me know about a megathread I should closeĀ ?

It's so old that Tom was still in Kasabian when it was started.

I hadn't seen them, but people like Jon Holmes (not the porn star were saying that). But yeah, i guess for some people they wont see any issues with it.

As a result of this I found out that Lost Prophets renamed themselves and disavowed all their back catalogue before starting out again after their singer's noncery.Ā

The first statement read rather weirdly when I first saw it, no 'we will support Tom' or anything like that, so you could tell something was coming. Seems like they were under the impression he would have explained everything and he didn't.
