Kings Of Leon drummer says band ‘will never split like Oasis’
December 12th, 2009 - 6:09 pm ICT by ANILondon, Dec 12 (ANI): Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill is convinced the band will never follow in the footsteps of Oasis - who split over the summer (09) following a bust-up between warring siblings Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Nathan said that although the group, which consists of brothers Nathan, Caleb and Jared, and their cousin Mathew, does fight regularly, they will never suffer the same fate as Oasis - because their family ties are too strong.
“I’m not sure what happened with those guys. All brothers fight, they just forgot to do the making up bit. But then again, they seemed to be having the same family row (fight) for like, 10 or 15 years so maybe it was time,” the Daily Star quoted Nathan as telling Q magazine.
“But we have a special strength because we had an upbringing where we didn’t have outsiders in the social circle for the longest time. That makes a big difference. We bug the hell out of each other day to day, but the relationship is so deep it can be like we share a brain between us. We might kill each other, but I don’t think we’d split,” Nathan added. (ANI)
