Kasabian apologize to Rolling Stones

Dotmusic Tue Aug 8, 9:00 AM ET

Kasabian have apologized for a recent outburst against the Rolling Stones, which saw the band's singer launch an angry rant at the rock legends.

Kasabian frontman Tom Meighan was a guest on U.K. TV on Friday evening, where he claimed his band had been told they needed to pay for tickets to see the Stones, even though Kasabian are the Stones' opening act.

Apparently, Meighan insisted: "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. 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?"

However, it now seems that Kasabian misunderstood the situation and have released a statement, insisting they feel "incredibly honored" to be playing the upcoming concerts.

It reads: "We are sorry for the comments made concerning Rolling Stones ticket prices. We now realize Kasabian as a support band do not have to pay to see the Rolling Stones perform. We are incredibly honored and excited to be supporting the Stones on some of their European dates--it's like a dream come true for all of us."

Kaasbian played a support show with the Rolling Stones in Zurich on Saturday evening.
