- More Kings of Leon
Kings Of Leon have praised the Brit Awards ahead of tonight's ceremony at Earl's Court, hinting that winning one is better than a Grammy.
The Followill family are nominated for two awards – Best International Band and Album – and will be performing at the event alongside U2, Coldplay, Duffy, Take That and the mighty Girls Aloud.
Enthusing about the Brits, frontman Caleb said: “We always knew The Brits was the Grammys of the UK. So we basically knew that was our Grammy. It was always the biggest shot that we had. And I hear the gift bags are much better at The Brits.
“It will be fun to perform. Playing a concert is one thing but performing in front of loads of jaded artists is different. Hopefully, they will be into it.
“I can’t wait to see U2 and Coldplay perform. I want to see if our sound stands up to the big boys.”
Drummer Nathan continued to The Sun: “If Bono gives me the evil eye during our performance, he’s in trouble.”
