Tom Meighan blinded by sausage

Kasabian singer Tom Meighan was once temporarily blinded by a sausage.

The 'Vlad The Impaler' hitmaker admits it felt "weird" to be hit by the meaty missile while he was performing at an awards ceremony.

He said: "Last year someone threw a slimy sausage in my eye when I was onstage. It was weird and left me temporarily blinded."

Despite suffering the unfortunate injury, Tom holds no bitterness to his mystery assailant and is happy to put the incident behind him.

He added in an interview with NME magazine: "I'll stick a sausage in his eye if I see him. Actually, I'm not a mean man, so let's end all sausage violence now, and let bygones be bygones."

Tom isn't the only rock star to have an unfortunate encounter with a sausage onstage - Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards once slipped on a Frankfurter sausage while onstage in Germany.

He has previously told how the irony didn't end there, explaining: "Even more ridiculously, two days later, in Hamburg, I slipped on a hamburger!"
