Golf 'n' roll stars Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon's new album is being delayed because of golf.

The Nashville rockers - who are notorious for their hellraising antics - are having trouble getting in the studio together because they are all obsessed with the sport.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They love golf, they can't get enough of it.

"Nathan is a brilliant player but Caleb is having a good go and snapping at his heels.

"Everyone hopes they will have another album out this year but they're in no rush. They are really enjoying life away from the studio."

The band themselves recently confirmed they would be taking time off this year to recharge their batteries.

Drummer Nathan Followill said: "I'm going to sit on my couch and cry tears of joy sitting in my pants with a tub of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookie ice cream.

"Then it's onto the golf course, a bit of fishing and some camping in the wild."

Guitarist Matthew Followill revealed: "Camping in Montana, with some fishing. In fact that would make the world better for everyone. Everyone should come."

The pair are joined in the group by frontman Caleb Followill and bassist Jared Followill.
