Kings Of Leon stories: lightning cancels TV taping, Followill brothers feud over marriage

Kings Of Leon missed a Album Chart Show recording after lightning struck Koko, and frontman Caleb Followill has criticised drummer Nathan Followill's engagement.

Kings Of Leon missed a TV appearance this week after a recording of The Album Chart Show at Koko was pulled when the venue was struck by lightning. They were forced to cancel their appearance, but other acts due to record that day - the likes of Rufus Wainwright and The Enemy - were able to go ahead with filming later in the evening once power was restored to the venue.

Elsewhere in Kings Of Leon news, drummer Nathan Followill's recent engagement to long term girlfriend Jessie Baylin hasn't gone down so well with the rest of the band - in particular, with his brother, the group's frontman, Caleb Followill. The singer said of his brother's marriage plans: "If he doesn't get a pre-nuptual agreement, he's an idiot. Me and him have a lot invested in each other, we started this band. We bought land and houses together. We've been best friends since we were little biddy boys. I don't want him to make mistakes. We have friends in bands who are married and their songs start being watered down because they're all about the same girl".

Nathan responds: "Look at Bono - he's been married his whole career. It's different for me than it is for Caleb, I'm pushing thirty. It's always hard when big brother starts devoting time to a girl that would normally be devoted to little brother".
