Kings Of Leon Talk About Turning Down Glee

Kings of Leon were surprised by the reaction they received after turning down an offer to have their songs used in an episode of the hit TV show Glee.

Drummer Nathan Followill spoke with Mojo magazine about the offer and says the band wasn't expecting the backlash they got after turning down Glee.

"Turning down Glee was like stepping on a kitten. We had no idea there was going to be that response. As artists . . . you have the right to turn down stuff and at the time it just didn't seem to be the right fit," he says.

He adds, "No offense to anybody. Hopefully a show will come out about hot models in bikinis and then we'll let 'em use every one of our songs."

The band's newest album Come Around Sundown hits stores in Ireland, Australia and Germany on October 15, the UK on October 18 and in North America on October 19.
