LISTEN TO INTERVIEW ON THE GUARDIAN WEBSITE

Daughter of Beatles legend Ringo Starr is expecting triplets with Kasabian’s Jay Mehler

The daughter of Ringo Starr is going to need some Help as a new mum – she’s just found she’s expecting triplets.

And who else would you want to be there for nappy changes and early starts but a rock star!

Her boyfriend of four years Kasabian’s Jay Mehler was last night celebrating the good news at Glastonbury with a few cheeky bevvies.

A source said: “One more and they can be a four-piece, just like the Beatles.”

Dispatches from the Madhouse Part 4

Greetings, Asylum Seekers…

So, Festival season is upon us. Time to dust off the sunscreen, dig the wellies out from the back of the cupboard and start poring over weather charts like Ben Fogle navigating a balsa-wood raft around the Cape Of Good Hope. If life is best lived – as Jack Kerouac once put it – as the pursuit of unforgettable experiences, the British Festival is a good place to start. There can be few who lived through the trenchfoot conditions of Glastonbury in 2007 who will ever forget it. Likewise, anyone who has been there when the sun is high in the sky, the Freak Flags are flying and the music is ringing around the hillsides, who hasn’t felt part of a community. Which, let’s face it, is pretty rare these days in this septic isle.
Whichever way, the band’s appearance on the Main Stage at 8pm on Saturday night was destined to be a night to remember.
In the meantime, here are Serge’s thoughts on the Week That Was…..

How was the gig in Bridlington last Monday?

Kasabian bossed it at Glasto

Spring in his step ... Tom Meighan of Kasabian

KASABIAN were chuffed to bits that they got the nod from The Boss.

After the lads’ top show on Saturday headliner BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN stopped them to say, “Good set boys. Good band.”

TOM MEIGHAN wore a jacket once owned by THE SMALL FACES frontman STEVE MARRIOT.

The boys played hits from all three albums, including Shoot The Runner, Club Foot and Where Did All The Love Go?

After watching Bruce, they partied but were back on their bus at 4am off to their next gig.

That’s rock ‘n’ roll…

Backstage at Glastonbury: Day Two

Ahead of Kasabian’s anthem packed set – just before headliner Bruce Springsteen on the Pyramid Stage – the band were spotting stars too.

Serge said he was too nervous to actually say hello to anyone, including The Boss himself, who it’s rumoured specially requested them on the line up.

“We heard the same rumour!” he said. “I just saw him in the corridor and there was not a lot of love there! I didn’t even say hello though. He gave a kind of smile – maybe.”

Kasabian just love being on tour

Kasabian have had an epiphany. Despite selling nearly two million records to date, their latest single Fire reaching number three and being invited to tour with good friends Oasis, the band have only just realised they’re huge.

‘It’s weird, man,’ begins front man Tom Meighan, with puppy-dog enthusiasm.
‘We were doing Jools Holland the other week and we were the biggest band on it.
