• Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill Admits to Struggling With Anorexia

  In a recent interview with Q Magazine, Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill admitted that he has, in the past, struggled with anorexia. "I always thought I wasn't good enough." To combat what he saw as a weight problem, he said he would do press-ups until he couldn't go on and would go running run [sic] on blisteringly hot days wearing a heavy tracksuit to shift the excess. He would also drink coffee constantly. "Anything to keep my hands and mouth busy without eating," he said. I'd first

• Otis Redding and Sam Cooke Sign To Motown--at Least According Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill

  It would be more than fair to call our coverage of "local" stoogely brothers Kings of Leon hyper-critical. We've nit-picked and exploited all of their transgressions, from their eating disorders to their bizarre group sex proclivities to their musings on Animal Collective and beyond. And while it would probably be best for us to move on, do like Top 40 radio and ignore these guys completely, sometimes it's just too hard to look away. The Jan. 15 issue of NME is celebrating the 50th anniversary

• Kings of Leon Almost Get in Fight, Caleb Followill Smashes Sweet Guitar

  R.I.P. sweet, sweet axe.When they aren't taking Americans to task for our bad taste in music, the Kings of Leon are, apparently, perfectionists--which is why they get so mad! According to the ultra-classy U.K. rag the Sun, the band had "yet another angry screaming match after their Friday night headline slot at T In The Park." Apparently "majestic singer" Caleb Followill was angry--nay, livid--about the sound, destroyed his prized Gibson 325 at the end of the band's set and, when the bros got

• Kings of Leon Certified Platinum

  Two's a trend, right? First Paramore, now Kings of Leon rock open those platinum gates, for so long rusted shut for any rock act out of Music City. Perhaps it's time to consider the Nashville Curse broken forever. Who'd've thunk it? From the release: RCA Records is proud to announce the RIAA certified platinum status of Kings of Leon's fourth studio album Only By The Night. This is the first platinum record for the band in the United States. This fall, the Grammy Award-winning band will embark

  Apparently the Kings of Leon can't take a joke. Midway through Friday night's sold-out Sommet Center homecoming performance, before more than 15,000 fans, singer Caleb Followill addressed their Nashville detractors who "talk shit" about and criticize them: "If any of them are here, I just hope they know how hard we work," he said. Could he really have meant little old us? A few hours later, as we were being forcibly removed from their after party (presumably at the band's request, or their man

• All Cougars, No Cubs: Caleb Followill Laments Kings of Leon's 'Mom Jeans' Fanbase

  D. Ricky RodriguezDon't knock it, don't knock it. I love those crazy Kings of Leon the way a pawn shop owner loves junkies. Just when it's startin' to look like a slow news day, one of the brothers Followill goes and says something that's, shall I say, "candid." If forced to hazard a guess as to why our beloved Kings are not always perceived as cool by a "nob head"--something their fans from over the pond are sure to call me--such as myself, I'd say it probably has something to do with how the
