You Think We Don’t Do Paparazzi In Nashville? Kings Of Leon Beg To Differ

Nicole Kidman often waxes poetic about how she loves Nashville because no one bothers her here, but Kings of Leon seem to have a different viewpoint on the subject of living as celebrities in Nashville. SPIN reports on a recent interview done with The Sun:

“It’s getting crazy going home to Nashville now. I’m having to sell my house because they’ve put it on some celebrity homes’ map. There are kids from the UK who go to Nashville and leave me presents. My cousin, who looks after the house, hides them from me — he said I’d be scared. The other day I was there and left the house for a second, and when I got back there were four playing cards, four kings, with all of our names on them in the door. There is an apartment complex across the street and there are people renting the place out and watching… We’ve got a farm in the middle of nowhere. It’s so hard to find. But we pulled up and by the mailbox were two girls in go-go boots, little outfits, just waiting.”

Well, well, well, Kings of Leon. Leave it to you to bring the crazies to town. Thanks for all you’ve done for our city.

  • Ah, the Kings of Leon. Is it ok to say that I find their rip-off Strokes sound boring? Snore....
    But I'm always down for Nashville folks to make it big.
  • Yeah, I'm not so much into them either. Glad to have some non-country Nashville celebs but they seem about as fond of us as we are of them.
  • Jenny
    I have to say I'm not a big fan either. They do realize they are in showbiz right? Don't want crazies, play at a corner bar.
  • AHS
    ask them what they sounded like before they met Angelo... funny they don't talk much about that! Wonder why?
  • they need to get over themselves, Ive heard the latest album, it sucks.
  • Umm.. who? Anyways, how do you have a "farm in the middle of nowhere" and also have "an apartment complex across the street"?
  • I know, right? That was really my first question.
  • Jen
    This comment is waaay late (ended up here from a link on a more recent Nashvillest post), but I'm fairly sure he's talking about two different properties, one in the city and one out in the country. So, according to him, the band is having problems with fans(/stalkers) finding both places.
  • ...but they probably still invited those girls in anyways, because they're Kings of Leon.
  • SwiftTheRedFox
    Who doesn't want "two girls in go-go boots, little outfits, just waiting"? I'm confused..
  • BamBam
    ...and this is why they would hire people in my position...there are security folks that actually PROTECT people as a living...or their homes. hmm...new concept i suppose.
