Kasabian a hit with the Premier League!

Kasabian will soon be Britain's biggest musical export after the Barclays Premier League paid a fortune to use their massive track Fire in the title sequences whenever matches are shown abroad. For the next three years broadcasters in around 200 countries will legally have to use the song when they show live games.

The Leicester lads are now the first port of call when it comes to football and music.

Singer Tom Meighan launched Umbro's England World Cup kit in Paris before the tournament. And their music is always used on TV, especially Match Of The Day and Sky Sports.

Paul Molnar from the Premier League said: "If we had just wanted a track, there are thousands of those that they could have used.

"But Kasabian are seen as a football band and that makes the use of the track so much stronger."
