In an anecdote that has by now gone down in Spinal Tap Kasabian fan lore, Tom Meighan accidentally ran over his dad in his car back in 2014.

Now, the frontman of the Leicester band has opened up about what actually happened in a new interview with Q magazine.

Meighan was unlicenced at the time of the incident, and accidentally pressed the accelerator of his car, instead of the brake. Unfortunately, his dad was in the way but fortunately, he made a full recovery.

He told Q: "Do you know what, he was quite calm about it.

"Afterwards I went: 'Dad, I'm sorry. He just said 'Son, you're a f**king dickhead."

His bandmate Serge Pizzorno summed up all of our thoughts, however, by saying: ""Obviously at the time it was horrendous, but it's not until you get asked a question about it that you realise what a funny story it is."

Indeed.
