Serge Pizzorno of Kasabian fame has called on people to boycott coffee chain Starbucks for their tax evading antics.
Engraged by the company's payments of just £8.6 million in tax despite £3 billion in profits back in 2012, he has now spoken out about the issue in a new interview with the NME. He claims that if no one bought their coffee there then the company could be brought down for its evils within a week.
If you stopped and thought about how much power we've got... says Pizzorno. With the whole Starbucks tax-evasion thing, if we all got together and said, 'Right, no one go to Starbucks,' it would only take a week to destroy a company.
Meanwhile Kasabian have been tipped to headline Glastonbury. eFestivals, who have become a renowned and reliable source of festival rumours, predictions and insider knowledge, claim that they are now 'fully confident' that Kasabian will top the bill on the Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm this June.
eFestivals points out that although the Leicester 'Fire' rockers have played the event four times before and Glasto boss Michael said that this year's headliners hadn't played before, this was clearly a mistake - as Arcade Fire will be headlining and they have played several times too.
The site say that Kasabian are almost certain to headline the Sunday night, adding: All that remains is the name of Saturday's headlining act, with all sorts of possible acts being talked about.
