Given the success enjoyed by the Kaiser Chiefs over the years some might be surprised to learn the band still meet and rehearse in Leeds.
Ricky Wilson, 44, and his bandmates have three BRIT awards, an Ivor Novello award for Album of the Year and have sold over 8m albums worldwide. But when they are active they meet at Old Chapel Music Studios in Holbeck - this is where the band invited LeedsLive to discuss their huge upcoming arena tour.
The studio is referred to as the "base of the Kaiser Chiefs". At the Old Chapel, there’s even a special chair reserved for lead singer Ricky.
