Mingling with the commoners on the London Tube seems to be the thing to do at the moment.
Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Jay-Z and Chris Martin have all been spotted on there, and now it seems that Kings of Leon have joined them.
Unlike some of the more recognisable faces, though, Kings of Leon had admitted that they're able to travel on the Underground without having any trouble at all.
Speaking to Absolute Radio's Sarah Champion, bassist Jared Followill said: "We never get recognised. I think people would be surprised but we're not a very recognisable band."
Lead guitarist Matt Followill agreed, adding: "No one makes eye contact or looks at you on the Underground. Everyone's all head down. It was rush hour and we were coming from rehearsal and we just didn't want to wait and sit in traffic."
And despite recently saying that they'd quite like to never play 'Sex On Fire' again, the band did acknowledge just how much they owe it for their success.
Listen below - if you're not actually sick of hearing it...
Matt said: "I read that 'Sex On Fire' was the most downloaded song in the UK of the 2000s. And that blew my mind.
"Obviously without 'Sex On Fire', we would not be nearly as successful as we are right now. But, you know, it comes and goes in waves."
The band are set to perform in the headline spot at the Isle of Wight festival this weekend, on 15 June.
