London, Aug 26 (ANI): Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno has revealed how he had a near miss recently after a World War II grenade was discovered by builders in his back garden.

The rocker said that the whole street surrounding his West London home was evacuated, when the unexploded wartime grenade was found.

"All it could have taken was the vibrations from a kickabout in the garden or some loud music and we would have been blown to pieces in a pile of rubble and smoke," British tabloid The Sun quoted him as saying.

The 27-year-old popstar expressed that he was fortunate enough to escape the blast, when there is a tradition of rockers dying at this age like Kurt Kobain, Jimi Hendix and many more.

"I'm 27 as well and there's a tradition of musicians meeting their end at my age, it's all sorted now and we should be moving in there in a few weeks," he said. (ANI)
