Kings Of Leon Accept Glee Creator's Apology

April 18, 2011
Kings Of Leon Accept Glee Creator's ApologyKings Of Leon have accepted Glee creator Ryan Murphy's apology after he called the band "self-centred arseholes".

Murphy launched a tirade against the Nashville band in January when they turned down a request from Glee to licence their hit 'Use Somebody'.

He issued an apology earlier this month, saying he had not spoken "with as much clarity as I would have liked" and that he respected Kings of Leon's stance.

Speaking at last weekend's Coachella festival, singer Caleb Followill said he was pleased Murphy had retracted his initial comments.

Drummer Nathan Followill added that it was a "wonderful feeling" now that a line had been drawn underneath the issue.
