PERMISSION TO DRIVE We live in a beloved British band’s tour bus with our four kids after getting sick of paying rent on our house

A FAMILY have given viewers a tour inside their new home - the ex tour bus of a legendary British band.
The Kirk family have everything they need to eat, sleep and travel on the UK's roads in the massive double-decker.

Dad Conrad showed gave fans a look around the bus he shares with his partner and four kids on the family's YouTube channel.

He revealed that they managed to pick up the Volvo B12 coach for a decent price after it was sent up to Grimsby to have a busted gearbox repaired.

The spacious home on wheels is loaded with vast storage spaces, which had to be large enough to transport concert equipment.

Decked out in a deep purple colour, all it needs is a thorough clean and some new tyres before its ready for the road.

Inside, there's a small kitchen, two sitting rooms and a chemical loo discreetly tucked away in its own cubicle.

The upper deck is dedicated to a long row of bunk beds with enough space to sleep all six of the Kirks.

There was even an extra bed in the front cab, though they removed the mattress to open up even more storage.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the bus, though, is its history as a tourer for a famous British rock band.

Glam rock group The Darkness reportedly travelled the length and breadth of the country in the bus during their mid-noughties heyday.

Not only that, but it was apparently passed on to the band by American heavy metal rockers Skid Row.
