Kasabian leave bunch of flowers at Amy Winehouse memorial

Kasabian frontman, Tom Meighan, has revealed that he sent a bunch of flowers to the memorial of the late singer, Amy Winehouse.

Meighan, who learnt of Winehouse's death through a phone call from his bandmate, Serge Pizzorno, said that he had been "really shocked” by the news.

Speaking to Music Week, he said, "I was really shocked. My body went cold. Before 'Back To Black' came out we had a sing song around hers… it was great, lovely memories. I was singing one of my songs and then she just sang and I was like, 'Wow what a lovely voice!"

He continued, "I am just so sorry. I had a tear, a little tear. I was in shock. My body went cold. I sent over some flowers today to her shrine from Kasabian – where all those people are putting all flowers – a big bunch of flowers from us. I think that’s respectful. She was lovely, wasn’t she?"

Winehouse was cremated on Tuesday (July 26) at a private funeral. She was found dead in her Camden home last Saturday on July 23, at the age of 27.
