Tom Meighan, frontman for Leicester group Kasabian has revisited his childhood and purchased the BMX bike from E.T.
The star paid over £10,000 for the bike, which is one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of movie memorabilia around.Reports from The Sun suggest Meighan has also ordered a life-sized replica of E.T. to go with the bike.
They quoted a "source" as saying "Tom has a real childlike quality about him and his eyes light up at the merest mention of any childhood nostalgia. Star Wars, ET and Superman movies are his favourites."
"It will take pride of place in his apartment and he'll be riding it , with his ET model in the basket."
The band had a tour of LucasFilm studios last time they were in San Franscisco.
