Kings Of Leon's Caleb Followill: Reading Outburst Was My Kurt Cobain MomentOctober 11, 2010
 Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill has apologised for the band's performance at last year's Reading Festival.
The group were booed during their headline set at the event, which led brother and drummer Nathan Followill to describe the crowd as “frozen”. But in an interview with BBC 6 Music, Caleb said a catalogue of incidents had caused the band to react the way they did. “We were on the road and I’d just found out my house had been broken into. On top of that the record was really doing good,” he said. The singer described his reaction as “my Kurt Cobain moment when I was hating the success and I was scared and thought people are gonna think that we did this on purpose and made this record so that it could be big”. He added: “We took it out on a lot of people. Me in particular, I took it out on audiences [at Reading festival] where we had a big backlash and I took it out on the crowd. “At the end of the day it was probably our fault, we probably just weren’t performing they way we should have been.” Kings Of Leon release their new album 'Come Around Sundown' on October 18, although it has already leaked online. The record is the follow-up to 2008's 'Only By The Night'. (by Jason Gregory) See also: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
