Kings of Leon Address Video Controversy

12/13/2010
. (Rock AAA) Kings of Leon guitarist Matthew Followill says the band were furious when they discovered adverts looking for fans with "physical deformities" or who looked "a little slow" to appear in a promo video.

Last month their casting company placed notices asking for "characters with scars, pockmarked skin or physical abnormalities" to be paid $300 a day for working as extras in the clip for current single Pyro.

Followill says the band knew nothing about the adverts � and as soon as they found out they swung into action.
