Serge is the second best frontman Kasabian has ever had, and that's all he ever will be.

Backstabber.

Sorry, but Kasabian without Tom is like ordering an Irish coffee without the Whiskey.

And no amount of jumping around like he's at a rave will make up for that.

Followed Kasabian for years from London to Eden Project and love em but miss Tom. Sorry

I sas there on the second night a couple of places from the from of the stage with my 11 year old son and the place was mental.....I was absolutely banana's the atmosphere......it wasn't really anything to do with him as a front man...it was just the road were passed and full of energy.....the noise all night from the speakers was really loud and bassy so as soon as they played their guitars the crowd went nuts

No Tom,No Kasabian.. Serge drop your ego..

Serge finally got what he wanted. He was trying to push Tom out of the band way before the court case. After Tom pleaded guilty to assault, Serge had the perfect opportunity to fire him. Not a single one of his bandmates reached out to help him, and were happy to let the media tear a mentally ill man apart. The only person who stood by Tom during his mental breakdown and rehabilitation was his girlfriend Vikki (now his wife). Vikki never wanted to press charges, the police did. She also wanted to defend him in court because he was in desperate need of medical help, and she was denied. There's always more to a story than a trashy tabloid headline. Don't believe everything you read.

You don’t throw your best mates under the bus.End of.Everyone has personal issues,everyone has done things they aren’t proud of,things they would rather forget.Liam has fathered illegitimate kids,had affairs,advocated drugs..where is Kasabians morals with that? Plus the footage of Liam grabbing his fiancé round the neck.That didn’t look too good. On a positive spin..Tom went on to marry his girlfriend & is cracking on with his solo career and good luck to him ✌🏾

This is wrong on so many levels. Why the hell was their previous frontman fired for something which is nobody's business? Secondly, at least get a vocalist who can actually hold the mic properly. Any pro will tell you that you DO NOT hold the mic by its head.

I doubt whether a Tommy Robinson/English Defence League bigot like you listened to much Kasabian in the first place.

Serge has wanted to be the frontman of Kasaiian for years. If Noel Gallagher had sacked Liam but continued with Oasis, it would have been a very different band, and not as good. Thats exactly what this new Kasabian is. Sorry, but its very rare that great frontmen can be replaced. I know of only two examples, AC/DC and Van Halen. Serge Pizzorno aint Brian Johnson or Sammy Hagar!!!! 😂😂😂

Serge is more of a front man than Tom ever was. Nothing against Tom but it always felt to me he was trying to hard. . Seen 6 times. Enjoyed just as much a man down.

Come on people, hit the like button!. Seriously YNWA

Serge is the Jerry Cantrell of Kasabian, now that pesky lead singer is out of the way he can be front and centre(!)

Serge could have his own band ..but still calling it Kasabian isn’t right ..that ship sailed ..it’s not Kasabian without Tom

I saw them before Liam Gallagher. Serge prancing around like he's a rapper half the set. It was a shadow of the band I used to watch! The ego of this guy.. and to cast Tom aside over something nothing to do with the band is ridiculous. Looks to me like serge is a conniving weasel of a man.
