Kasabian Guitarist Serge Pizzorno Becomes A Father

Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno has become a father for the first time.

The singer's partner Amy gave birth to 6lb Ennio Silva Pizzorno four weeks early on Monday (August 2).

Pizzorno had just returned home from Kasabian's tour of Australia in time for time birth.

But he is due to head off again on Friday (August 6) to play a host of European festival dates, as well as support slots with U2.

"Serge and Amy are thrilled,” a source told The Sun. "The timing couldn't have been better with all the gigs booked in over August.”

Kasabian are also scheduled to headline this year's V Festival in the UK later this month.
