Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno has revealed the band nearly split last year in the wake of former frontman Tom Meighan 's sacking after he was convicted of assaulting his wife.
Meighan was given an 18-month community order and told to undertake 200 hours of unpaid work for hitting then-girlfriend Vikki Ager in 2020 during a drunken rage.
The band was rumoured to be ready to replace Meighan with former The Music lead singer Rob Harvey but when the move failed to materialise, Pizzorno, 41, took over vocal duties himself.
