SERGE Pizzorno fears he’ll end up almost completely deaf like Roger Daltrey.
After years of touring and refusing to turn down the music, the Kasabian rocker is worried he could be on the verge of losing his hearing. Before Kasabian’s Teenage Cancer Trust show tonight, Serge told me: “It scares me as I do like it loud, like blistering loud. They have been trying to get me to wear in-ears for years now but I just can’t get on with it, but I am really worried. “It is so scary, and I do think about it, I start the gig really quiet but then I get lost in it and by the end it could bring down buildings how loud it is.” He added whenever Teenage Cancer Trust patron Roger needs a headliner Kasabian will always step up.
Serge gushed: “Roger has a big say in who he wants.
“We would do it every year if we can, we are always around for it, whenever he wants us.
“We always just say, ‘look if you need us then we are there’. When you meet the kids they are so incredible. To be dealt that blow so early on in their life is heartbreaking, but they are so beautiful and just getting on.”
The guys are in full swing of tour rehearsals ahead of their headline slot at the Isle of Wight festival – but it’s not as rock and roll as many people think.
“We’ve just been sitting around, drinking tea, discussing what we should do,” he laughed.
