Kasabian are set to play an “emotional” gig in New York on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
The band, who will perform on a rooftop in the city, said it was poignant to be performing because their lives had changed so much since the attacks on the Twin Towers 2001.
"It will be strange for us playing in the city on such a big weekend for New York people,” singer Tom Meighan told The Sun. It will be emotional.
"I was at work and remember hearing 9/11 unfold on the radio. I remember going home and being in absolute shock. My mum had it on the news. It was f*cking awful."
Guitarist Serge Pizzorno added: "Looking back to 9/11, I was at work. I went round Tom's on my way home. I'd always go in for a tea and I was sat watching it with his mum when Tom came home from work.
"We were watching it in his front room. We were like everyone, thinking it was just mental."
Kasabian release their much-anticipated new album 'Velociraptor!' later this month.
