Kasabian have distanced themselves from a message shown during their gig in Glasgow on Wednesday night (November 19th) which apparently declared ‘London is full of c*nts’.
The offending line appeared on the video backdrop which has been accompanying the band on their touring journey since the release of ‘48:13‘, usually displaying seemingly random, unconnected words. Glasgow though, just a short time after the independence referendum, was different.
In a statement released to NME, guitarist Serge Pizzorno has insisted: “We were as shocked as anyone else. The production team fucked up. There were supposed to be photos of mundane objects in that section but instead I turned around in the middle of ‘Clouds’ and couldn’t believe my eyes.”
“We were all shocked and certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone. I hope this doesn’t detract from the gig itself, which was probably the most amazing one we’ve played all year.”
Kasabian’s UK and Ireland arena tour continues tonight in Leeds.
