U.S. band Kings of Leon were not pleased with U.K. fans’ cold response at the Reading Festival in England on Friday, August 28, 2009.
Singer Caleb Followill tried to win over the audience, but after not much response, he yelled, “I thought this was supposed to be the loudest crowd in the world?…We know you’re sick of Kings of Leon. We’re f***ing sick of Kings of Leon too. But we get up here every night and I thank God for everything I’ve had…So for all those who don’t give a f**k about us, I understand. But we’ve worked hard to be here. We’re the goddamn Kings of Leon, so f**k you.”
Then, to make matters even worse, Caleb and Jared both smashed their guitars on the stage, then threw the shards into the crowd and stormed off stage, giving fans the bird!!
Wow!! Now…I am no musical entertainer, but I would think that lashing out at your fans and throwing pieces of wood at them is not the best approach to win them over…especially the Brits!!!
After the outburst, Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill took to Twitter:
“Reading? What the f**k? Zero love for the kings. I know it was cold but holy s**t, y’all were frozen. I can only hope Leeds is in better form.”
What the f**k, Kings of Leon? Geeze…!
