Tom Meighan of Kasabian headlining TRNSMT Festival 2017, Day 2 (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Kasabian were forced to cancel a show in Belfast last night after frontman Tom Meighan ‘suddenly went down with severe vomiting’.
The gig at Custom House Square in Belfast was cancelled only a short time before Kasabian were due on stage, but a statement from the band has been released on social media. “We were all at Custom House Square, ready to go on stage when Tom suddenly went down with severe vomiting and could hardly stand up let alone sing,” it reads. “He was taken to hospital, put on a drip and told to rest up.”
