Tom Meighan of Kasabian has spoken out about reports that he ran over his father with a car earlier this year.
Meighan admitted that prior to their huge Leicester Summer Solstice Homecoming Show, he was driving without a license and mistakenly pressed down on the accelerator instead of lifting the handbrake. The car hit his father who became hospitalised.
Speaking at Kasabian's Summer Solstice screening from Xperia Access to The Daily Star he said: "It was a freak accident, it was horrible. That was the worst day of my life.
"I can drive but it was in an automatic car. It was too fast. It was a real shock at the time... We have laughed about it now and that's all you can do. I'm very close to my dad. He's a very amazing person to have around, so that happening was awful."
Kasabian have had the most successful summer of their career this year illustrated by a number one album and a Glastonbury Festival headline spot.
The band show no sign of slowing down. They hit the road in November. See Gigwise tickets for more details.
