Pizzorno recently released his debut solo album, which has left fans wondering what the future holds for Kasabian.

At the premiere for Liam Gallagher’s new Oasis documentary As It Was, Meighan revealed that the band have no immediate plans to create new music.

“We’re taking a bit of a break,” Meighan told NME. “Serge is doing his thing, I’m doing my thing. I’ve actually been growing vegetables in the garden. We have guinea pigs and a sphynx called Vivian The Headless Cat. I’m going to be growing plants, planting seeds. I’m not David Bellamy – God rest his soul.”

In addition to getting up to some very rock ‘n’ roll gardening, Meighan is also working on some new solo music. When asked whether he plans to go solo, he said: “I’ve been doing it for years anyway. We’ll get together next year and write a record. I love Serge and I back him 100%.”

He added: “He’s my Paul [McCartney].”

Speaking with Sky News about why the same bands tend to headline most festivals, frontman Tom Meighan said about newer and upcoming bands:

“They ain’t good enough, I don’t think they’ve got many big songs, you know what I mean? If you’re a big band you have big songs, it’s simple as that isn’t it, that’s how I look at rock and roll, it’s obvious isn’t it?”

Guitarist Serge Pizzorno then added: “It’s the follow-up record, it’s amazing debuts and amazing starts but the second and third it starts to… it’s hard for everyone though, anyone that’s a songwriter, anyone that’s in a band, to maintain at a level. It’s not easy, but it’s there, if anyone wants it it’s there, you’ve just got to come and get it.”

That being said, Pizzorno did take the time to credit rising band Slaves, who he described as a “phenomenal band.”

“If I was a betting man, they won’t be too far away [from headlining] in the next couple of years,” he said, “maybe this album, maybe album after, they’re an unbelievable, incredible band.”
