Kings of Leon Reveal Details of Caleb Followill's Wedding
Originally posted 05/03/2011 02:20PM
Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill says he doesn't know the exact date of his wedding, but he seems certain that he will marry his Victoria's Secret model fiancée Lily Aldridge in May.
"You have to ask Lily [about the wedding date]. She won't tell me. I think it's somewhere between May 10 and May 20, but she won't tell me because I have a big mouth," Caleb told PEOPLE recently at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his band's documentary, Talihina Nights: The Story of Kings of Leon.
Caleb's bandmate brothers Nathan and Jared Followill, however, are more forthcoming when it comes to the specifics of the wedding.

Did Ashley Greene get lucky on St. Patrick's Day?
The Twilight star, who just split from boyfriend Joe Jonas, celebrated the holiday with a new man: Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill.
"Good food. Good friends. Great day," Greene, 24, Tweeted, with no specific mention of Followill, 24.
Presumably on a break from filming the latest Twilight installment, Breaking Dawn, Greene, who was rocking green skinny jeans, was spotted at Phebe's Tavern & Grill in N.Y.C. with the Kings of Leon bassist.

Bus Fire Snuffs Out Kings of Leon Show in London

First, their sex was on fire. Then their tour buses were.
Kings of Leon had to postpone a sold-out show in London on Tuesday after a blaze on one of their buses spread to another until both were burned out, the BBC News reports.
It's the latest bizarre mishap to befall the Tennessee band, whose biggest hit is called "Sex on Fire." In July, they had to shut down a show in St. Louis because of flying pigeon poop.
While that incident posed dangers – their managers claimed the droppings falling on the band as they played were a "health hazard" – this time it was more serious, with six people treated for smoke inhalation by ambulance crews. About 60 firefighters attended the scene.

Sorry, ladies: two members of the Kings of Leon are now officially off the market.
Lead singer Caleb Followill popped the question to his girlfriend, Lily Aldridge, the band's rep confirms to PEOPLE.
And should he want to get a jump start on wedding planning, he needn't look any further than his brother (and bandmate) Nathan, who got hitched back in November.
Aldridge appeared in the band's video for "Use Somebody" and has been dating Followill for over two years.

Kings of Leon Concert Shut Down by Pigeon Poop
Originally posted 07/25/2010 09:50AM
Three songs into their St. Louis concert Friday night, the Kings of Leon had to shut down the show on account of some unexpected accompaniment that CNN pins on "pooping pigeons."
"Jared [Followill, the band's bassist] was hit several times during the first two songs," said Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management. "It's not only disgusting – it's a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there."
The dirty birds were reported to have been lurking in the rafters of the Missouri city's Verizon Amphitheatre and launching their aerial attack during the band's opening number, "Closer." Followill, 23, got it in the face.

As Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill watched the Grammy nominations being announced Wednesday night, he was hoping for a nod in his band's direction.
"Taylor Swift, please let us win one," he wrote on Twitter during the concert. And while the teen pop star pulled in a whopping eight nominations, Followill's group got their share of Grammy love as well – a total of four nods for the hit "Use Somebody."
"That's pretty crazy for one song," he told reporters Wednesday. "That's what makes it even more special because we didn't think that song would be as big as it's gotten."
