Nice one! Tom Meighan, the lead singer of Kasabian, who are opening for the Rolling Stones for some dates in the U.S., was under the impression that his band would have to buy tickets to see the Stones play at those shows. Making things infinitely worse, Meighan went on British TV and complained about Stones tickets costing “200 quid,” then blamed some faceless “Americans.”
First of all, dude, you are in Kasabian. Can we start with that? Opening for the Stones is the best thing that’s ever happened to you! Besides being an ingrate, you are also an idiot, because obviously you don’t have to pay to hear the Stones if you’re their support band. You should mortgage your incense-stinking East London apartment for the chance to watch the Stones every night anyway.
Meighan went on to release a weak, cliche-filled retraction which said that opening for the Stones is a “dream come true,” before slithering off to his dressing room.
