"Kasabian&amp;#039;s Tom Meighan has revealed that he suffered a &amp;quot;meltdown&amp;quot; earlier this year. The frontman said that he struggled being away from home shortly before the birth of his daughter while the band toured America.  &amp;quot;I had a meltdown. Not a complete breakdown but I just lost it through the realisation of what was going on in my life. I went a bit mad for a couple of days,&amp;quot; Meighan told The Sun. &amp;quot;I panicked. I&amp;#039;ve never had that before. And I was at breaking point. But the band were there for me and crying helps.  &amp;quot;I cry a lot and I&amp;#039;m not ashamed to say that but America was hard. It was nine weeks of non-stop touring. But we&amp;#039;re doing all right there now, so it was worth it and we&amp;#039;re going back there in the autumn.&amp;quot; Meighan branded One Direction &amp;quot;d**ks&amp;quot; after they broke America so quickly while Kasabian endured gruelling tours. Kasabian have previously said that they are hopeful of cracking the US market.
