2015/16 champions Leicester City were a surprise package that won the Premier League against all-odds last season. They were 5000/1 to win it and they did. Just to put that into context, there was a higher probability of alien life being discovered. As Claudio Ranieri joked at the start of this season, it was more probable that, ‘ET comes to Piccadilly Circus!’.

A band that was formed and raised in Leicester itself are the amazing Kasabian.

For a few familiar songs of theirs you have to look no further than the hit ‘Fire’ that was used as the official Premier League song from 2010/11 to 2012/13. Other recognisable hits of theirs include ‘Club Foot’, used in the first movie of the Goal series and ‘Underdog’ (used in the film ‘Takers’) – which typifies Leicester City. Needless to say, Kasabian are huge in the UK and completely rocked their home-town with an epic concert after Leicester City FC won the Premier League last season.

Absolute scenes there.

It’s safe to say Ed Sheeran is pretty popular these days. The English Pop/Folk singer is well known for his hit songs like ‘I See Fire’, ‘The A Team’ and ‘Thinking Out Loud’. While just this year he released two singles from an upcoming album called ‘Divide’ which instantly became hits. The 25-year-old English singer, who is of Irish descent, is a Chelsea fan, according to this tweet a few years ago.

However, he does state that his heart will forever be with Framlingham town FC!
