Kings Of Leon are at the centre of a smoking row after guitarist Matthew Followill sparked up a cigarette during a gig in Wales.
The star is said to have flouted the British smoking ban, which prohibits cigarettes from all public indoor areas, including music venues, while on stage at the International Arena in Cardiff, Wales last Wednesday (December 17).
The incident was reported to officials at Cardiff Council, who have launched an investigation, media reports claim.
If Followill is found to have breached the smoking rules, he will be hit with a £50 charge and the venue could be handed a much higher fine.

Only when it suits them, as always.

Get a life man, leave the smokers alone. Sounds like open season on smokers! Storm in a teacup over nothing! Sick of the so called "health fascists".

- Big deal, he smoked a fag. Not exactly as harmful as Altimont '69.
Bands should display greater contempt of this ridiculous law. STAND UP AND BE COUNTED, This country is drowning in self righteous vomit. I wonder what they'd have made of Jim Morrison...
