Kasabian get billed by the Stones

Kasabian are apparently furious that the Rolling Stones are going to charge them $300 each to watch them in concert--even though the Leicester-born rockers will be playing as their opening act.

Reported today in the U.K. paper The Daily Mirror, the band's singer, Tom Meighan, said he was outraged at the decision.

Meighansaid: "It's quite incredible. We're f--king supporting them! So if we get kicked off the stage we've got to buy a ticket, which is about 200 quid."

However, Meighan stated that he didn't blame the Stones personally for the decision, and was honored to be playing with the '60s legends.

He added: "It's probably Americans who are running it, not Jagger. And Richards isn't going to know what's f--king going on, is he? It is a f--king absolute honor, you know--they're gods, ain't they? I mean,

Mick Jagger, Richards, it's just yeah...sh-t like that blows your mind again, you know."

He added: "It just happens so fast sometimes that I just don't know how to take it, but it's a wonderful thing, man."

Kasabian will be warming up for the Stones in Zurich tomorrow, August 5, as well as a date in Nice, France next week. Their second album, Empire, is released on August 28.
