Kasabian dream of yacht charter
Jul 23rd, 2009
Tom Meighan of British rock group Kasabian has spoken of his intention to charter a luxury yacht if his band's album wins the coveted Mercury Prize.The £20,000 award is seen as one of the most prestigious in the music industry and Kasabian have been nominated for their third album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum.
Mr Meighan told the Daily Star: "I'd like to spend it on a yacht and get out of my mind. Hire a yacht out with a group of people and have it."
He also revealed to the newspaper that fellow rockers Oasis will help them to celebrate their nomination.
"I'll see the Oasis boys tonight. They'll be buzzing for us. Me and Liam will have champagne while Noel and Serge will sit down and talk music, no doubt. We frontmen are a bit loony," he told the Daily Star.
Yacht charters are often popular with celebrities. Stars such as Britney Spears, Wayne Rooney and rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs have been spotted enjoying luxury vessels in the past.
"I would recommend Dream Marine to others. Everyone was easygoing and helpful. I didn’t mind who I talked to. It was all good. Shame having to come back to London afterwards.
Come on Chris… when’s the next one?"
