Noel Fielding jokes about doing shots with Prue Leith on stage at Kasabian gig
The indie rock band rolled back the years on Tuesday during a gig at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, in aid of charity War Child.
TV presenter Noel Fielding joked he and Dame Prue Leith had done Jager bombs backstage when he made a surprise on-stage appearance at a Kasabian Brits Week gig.
The comedian and actor, 51, who appears on The Great British Bake Off alongside judge Dame Prue, sauntered onto the stage while frontman Sergio Pizzorno shouted “get loose get loose” from the band’s song Vlad The Impaler.
Fielding appeared in the music video for the song, released in 2009, and he and musician Pizzorno, 44, are long-time friends.
While on stage Fielding took hold of the microphone and shouted “Shepherd’s Bush” followed by “Shepherd’s Boosh” in an apparent reference to his comedy show with Julian Barratt, The Mighty Boosh.
“It’s all kicking off backstage, me and Prue just did Jager bombs, Prue Leith”, he added.
Kasabian began the concert with a rendition of Call, taken from their 2024 album Happenings, which earned them their seventh number one in the UK albums chart following its release in July.
During the gig, one of several taking place in the run-up to the Brit Awards this Saturday, the band impressed the crowd with fan favourites such as Coming Back to Me Good and You’re In Love With A Psycho.
The group ended their set with Fire which had the crowd, who were packed into the 2,000 person capacity venue, jumping on their feet.
The gig came ahead of Saturday’s Brit Awards, with a number of charity gigs in smaller venues planned in the run-up to and after the ceremony, including performances by electronic musical group Clean Bandit and punk rock duo Soft Play.
