The research that has gone into this has led to a totally different view on this whole grim situation. Just shows how complex we can be, and how we all really need support. Great video James, mate. I reckon they keep getting better.

Another great informative video James. Your closing statement about the last ten years or so is unfortunately spot on. Social media has good and bad about it but has changed society for the worse ,Keep up the good work James.

Thanks for sharing James, a story that needs to be heard!

So the only question is: what is to be seen on that video!? Being a "special" person like Tom must be hard for himself sometimes. But imagine being the other band members that have to cope with that behaviour day in day out. For 2 freeking decades. I think you can only help a friend with mental fragility mixed with drug abuse problems for some time before it starts to hurt yourself. I had to bring my best friend to a closed Clinic due to his drinking. It was his wish. The first time we both cried. By the tenth time I was empty. A person, in this case Tom or my best friend , had to find a way for himself to help himself. But it only got worse. Being together in the band with him would only make things worse for Tom. They couldnt safe Tom from being himself.

Another amazing video, James! I found your channel when you've had only 1K subscribers. I am very happy to see how much you have evolved since back then. You just keep getting better (man!!) and better! Cheers!

This is exceptional James. Thank you very much for addressing an injustice arising from an all too common thing - invisible disability. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is properly understood at pitifully low levels in our societies and it is surrounded by an atmosphere of legacy bullsh*t that is taking far too long to dissipate. That is not helped by a terribly inaccurate and unhelpful name. ADHD is a horrifically cruel, personally eroding disability of higher cognitive processes caused by profoundly deficient access to two neurotransmitters in our bodies - dopamine and norepinephrine. It can’t be managed by thought and choice, because those things manage thought and choice. Clinical ‘pillars’ of its disabling impact expand and extend vastly beyond what the diagnostic criteria (and popular notions) of the disability are when we transition through adolescence and adulthood - because those criteria and what the majority ‘know’ are based on juvenile humans, studies of kids 12 years old and younger. In adolescence and adulthood it morphs into a silent, hidden beast - the invisible hand that shapes every waking and sleeping moment of every day, and it eviscerates you, and it closely mimics a number of mental health conditions, so the norm is inaccurate diagnoses and inappropriate, not entirely effective medication - like putting bandaids on a thousand cuts. But it’s invisible, with a terrible PR issue because people have a preference and appetite for punishing, blaming and shaming individuals for their impairments - so getting trust and belief from others is terribly difficult. I damn near spoke over the wording of your descriptions of the historical events in this video - so effing predictable. So please, everyone that reads this - frame this in the correct way, and look at it through the correct lens: disability. When you do that, substitute a hypothetical ’bodily’ disability for the invisible disability, and use that as the basis to inform your internal storyteller when it wonders what Tom could have done to ‘overcome’ his disability (ie, in Tom’s situation, his ‘wheelchair’ is medication to regulate dopamine and norepinephrine), and your internal storyteller will come to the correct conclusion - without support and aid Tom could not have done what was required to overcome the barriers in his path and participate on an equal basis as others. So who is responsible for all of this? We all are. Tom is culpable but we are ALL responsible for getting better at managing invisible disability, because this is a predictably shameful episode. Thank you very much James. Also, congratulations to Tom and Vicki. It takes a special and beautiful person to voluntarily expand beyond what has been taught to accept, understand and accommodate invisible disability in an intimate partner relationship. Thank you to you Vicki for being exceptional and a superb human. Amazing!❤

James, awesome as always, your in-depth interviews are great

Really fascinating video, James. I didn't know the details around this situation, so this was really interesting and engrossing. I really like your balanced and well-researched take on everything.

I have always said this about Tom, glad he got his diagnosis and treatment, I have the same but with autism and it is a living hell, I lost my family, business down to having burning myself out with drink and drugs. I have kicked a 27 year addiction coming up to 2 years now with no help or support. Wonder if Tom needs a bass player some time.

Brilliant ! Was waiting for you to cover this ✌️🎸

Excellent video James, thank you for making that.

Hi I am in tears watching this as I am so so grateful you made this video I was a massive Kasabian fan and Tom fan, when this all happened I told everyone that Tom had crashed and burned was sure he needed mental health treatment and most of all for such a a lovely soul that Tom is needed support. People he loved turned their back on him . Never ever is domestic violence acceptable but know deep down there was more to it. I am an ageing rock chick at 56 but who cares. Tom turning his life around and getting the help he needed I said a prayer for him to be looked after and make a recovery and that's what has happened and I am so happy he is bouncing back , to me Kasabian the band ended when Tom went as he was a brilliant front man and Serg just doesn't cut it he may have wrote the Kasabian songs but Tom brought them to life. Lastly another thank you to you for making this video.🙏❤️🙏

I don't usually leave comments on videos on KZread but after watching your video I was filled with admiration for you and what you have achieved. It's reassuring to know that someone is out there setting the story straight for people knowing half truths due to the cancel-culture we are surrounded by. This video is a credit to you and Tom. Keep up the great work mate.

What has shocked me is that Vicky openly tells us of her abuse of Tom who ‘had two black eyes’! I just want to say that this should never be glossed over. Women abuse men every day and till it is taken seriously many men suffer in silence! If a man had said that he would be vilified for it. Oh, I’m a woman by the way. Abuse works both ways !

Thanks for this video James, you’re a good bloke.

Thank you for this James😊

Well researched, great video - thank you. Very grateful for your words near the end. What you have observed about forgiveness - or lack of - is spot on. We have been taught not to forgive, the media are guilty of this teaching. To forgive others and to forgive oneself is SO powerful and has amazing benefits on health and wellbeing. I am rooting for Tom and I hope he is aware that damage can be avoided if he heals from the experience. Rejection and injustice can manifest physically as well as emotionally if left unresolved. Thanks again for your work and for making many aware of this lack of forgiveness and the injustice it causes. Compassion is lacking in the world. If more people learn Compassion the world would be so different. But to learn forgiveness and compassion it's important to unlearn what the media are teaching, and have been teaching for years, because it is very harmful not only to mental wellbeing but also physical health ❤

Another great video! Keep them coming James

Really fantastic video man. I'm not a huge Kasabian fan but your research made this a pleasure to watch.

great video james, love the kasabian content! what you were saying about the touring and how easy it is to get tied up with drugs and alcohol made me realise how important it is Sam fender did take a break from his touring due to mental health etc as he was definitely starting to wear out but thank god he decided to give the gigs a break and prioritise himself instead of go down the route of substances and that. i think it was brave as well for sam making that decision, must be hard not to get tied up in it all.

Just because a 'victim' returns to her partner doesn't mean she isn't or hasn't been exposed to any level of abuse. Tom may well be a one off case of a drunken fight going way too far....but we may never know that. I'm glad he seems to have got sober and is working through his challenges.

So like you say - we'll never know the true level of what happened. I do however think the British press will jump to conclusions and it sounds like Kasabian wanted an excuse to kick him out, and this was the perfect one.

Thanks James, Setting the record straight.

Just found this channel and wow the way you convey the music industry of the Uk’s 90’s> 2000’s rock bands I love it haha

Thank you for doing the research and putting this together. You brought forth truth in the midst of an often cold world of smoke screens and character assassinations. The truth will always set us free. Bless you, and bless Tom in his future life chapters. His first album is great, and keeping the music and spirit of classic Kasabian alive. He seems to now have the best of both worlds.

Beautifully researched documentary and as I myself have suffered a mental breakdown twice in my life & have connections on a small scale to my local music scene, I am very well aware of how exhausting mentally and physically any one gig can be due to the highs & lows of adrenalin surges. I like to do a lot of in depth research myself & trust my gut instinct a lot. I do not trust the mainstream media! Having listened to Tom's solo work, I was impressed and I have seen him on his acoustic tour. I have to say I highly recommend it. He came across as a lovely man. Great audience interaction, singling out people he recognised who had been to previous shows by name as well as great witty banter with other audience members The vibes I picked up on were, genuine passion for performing and his audience in an intimate grassroots venue setting - that in itself is helping enormously as our grassroots sector is still very much in the danger zone. Those who met him personally that night, all said he is a genuinely lovely bkoke Those who have only watched him on an arena stage need to see him in a more intimate setting. You get more of the real genuine Tom A man passionate about what he does with little hints of sadness at what happened in the past mixed with a positive energy and outlook for his future

Great video thanks. I hadn't heard this side at all. I hope they're both doing a lot better.

Another excellent video James. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Excellent work James, well said. 👏👏👏

This is a great watch. I have been a Kasabian fan from the very beginning, and their recent history has been murky to say the least. This at least gives a more rounded view point of the events that led to them parting ways. Quite sad to think what I enjoyed most about Tom as a performer, was secretly fuelled by personal torment in his head….. good to hear he’s got the help he needed to be happier and healthier. Looking forward to supporting his solo stuff now I understand what really happened in the lead up to his breakdown and the events that followed…

Absolutely brilliant vids you are doing. This one no different 👏👏

Great video, sheds light on stuff we should know

Thank you for this video. My son and I went to see Noel Gallagher last night in Leeds.(mon 18th Dec 2023). We couldn’t believe our luck to hear Tom was backing Noel. I had briefly looked online why Tom and Kasabian had parted. This video explains everything. Early into Tom’s set he apologized stating that he had made a mistake. I think it showed at the beginning of his set that he was a little anxious. The crowd absolutely went mental for Tom’s set, especially for tracks like fire, clubfoot, and L.S.F , and don’t give in, how could you not. You could see Tom loved the crowd’s reaction and thanked the crowd more than once for the love and support. It was amazing. And knowing the details of what had happened now, he deserved the love and support. We all make mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance. His set was amazing. Brilliant video thank you ❤

I think one of the saddest things to come out of this is how his "friends" abandoned him. Serge mentioned in an interview something along the line that he told Tom if there was any help he needed let him know. From the sound of it, that message probably was written in an email. A real friend will look into how his friend is doing often when they are going through a tough time.

I would travel for two hours or even more to then have to go into a stewards' briefing and from there to sitting in a restaurantfor three or four hours with slow service. I wasn't given downtime unless I stole it for myself by nipping out of briefings and meetings that overran time and skipping dessert in the restaurant. A lot if us were doing that too.

i like how you explained everything up to the abuse without framing it as an excuse for Tom's actions, i feel like that's difficult to do

Thank you James for an intelligent well researched and objective view of what had happened. I had always felt that Tom had been abandoned by his friends - although with hindsight I can partially understand why. I realised that the press reports of the incident couldn't have been correct when I heard that Tom and Vikki had married. I wish them both all the best. I hope Tom is feeling much better and is taking care of himself. I look forward to hearing his solo projects. I am a huge Kasabian fan but much preferred Tom as the front man. Serge is talented, no doubt, but Tom was made to lead on stage!

Fantastic insight into the events leading up to the alleged assault on Vicky Obviously there’s a lot been said for and against Tom but after watching this I really do empathise with him as he obviously had a massive underlying issue Just hope the lad can rebuild his life along with his family and eventually carry on doing what he does best I for one will definitely be going to watch him once his solo dates are announced

I think it would be nice to hear your story when it comes to your breakdown. It would help a lot of people, especially men. Having witnessed something similar, it would be helpful to see someone else's experience.

Just a quick note on how prosecutions work. It's not the police as such , it's the CPS - Crown Prosecution Service. They go off certain criteria and then decide if it's in the public interest to pursue a prosecution. If any act of violence is committed against a woman - you can bet your house that the CPS will get involved. Regardless of no charges being pressed by the victim...

Kasabian are very ordinary without Tom, FACT! I was at the Belfast gig, absolutely heartbroken when they cancelled seconds before they were due on stage. Tom is back and his new music is absolutely class! I’m hoping to see him very soon. I feel so sorry for him and just wanna give the man a hug and tell him that I and his fans never ever doubted him. 🦊💙🎤

Very thorough presentation. I appreciate your work, thank you. In relation to your closing comment; I would like to add that the Catholic faith actually teaches us to forgive 70 times 70 which is symbolic of ‘infinite’, meaning always, never withholding. Also, to be forgiven one most seek forgiveness with a firm purpose of amendment. Catholicism tells us that God always forgives. It’s wilful rejection of Gods mercy is what really separates us from Him.

Great topic to cover. 👌

It’s just not the same without Tom, he’s one of the best frontmen I’ve seen live.

For me it was the perfect excuse for Kasabian to get rid of him and for Serge to become front man. Kasabian just aren't the same with Serge as lead singer. He just hasn't got the voice for it. Whatever happened that night changed Tom and the band's lives. Kasabian were the best band since oasis for me. Saw them loads of times and when they supported OASIS at Wembley they blew them off the stage.

Kasabian can’t be that bothered about violence against women as they supported Liam Gallagher who was photographed with his hands on a woman’s neck. Absolute Hypocrisy.

The girl was laughing, but she might have been scared. They hint at what they do with women in their videos and then claim it's satire. Like in the Pussy and Mein Land videos. I saw one photo of Till touching the bottom of one woman in underwear while standing behind her. There was another woman fully dressed standing in between them also with her hands on the bottom of the woman in underwear and looking back at Lindemann. The videos Lindemann made for his solo projects show an orgy with Lindemann, his musical partner Peter, a porn actress and Russian women.

This is an amazing video.

Really enjoyed this mate and well done for enlightening people who might have read the Sun and believed the shit they write just for sales and neglecting facts and truths however damning to someone One small ‘query’ is it correct to still call his Mrs a ‘victim’ as you have? I’m not saying it’s wrong that you did cos there’s maybe no other description but as the video itself states, she wasn’t a victim as he wasn’t guilty of the lies the press reported? Anyway, hope Tom gets his head together, he’s a well loved and talented man; I’d be dead by now if I was in his shoes, addicts will spend what they can simple as that; so he must have been using half of Colombia’s monthly exports at one stage! Your oasis video was great too, thanks for the effort keeps it up fella 👍🏻
