Kings of Leon have started a new family feud, this time over unpaid royalties.
The Tennessee group, who infamously came to blows at the Brit Awards last February, are at loggerheads over their fifth studio album.
22-year-old bassist Jared, younger brother of Caleb and Nathan, said: “We started seriously writing the songs when we got back home from tour.
“I got a call from Caleb going: ‘I’m sitting here writing the next album by myself.’ And we’re like: ‘Oh no, you’re not.’
“We ended up going to his house so that when the record comes out he can’t go: ‘Dude, I’m getting 70% of this shit.’”
Guitarist and cousin, Matthew, added to the Daily Star: “We basically go to his house for the royalties.”
Before Jared finished: “Caleb was really weird when we started. Everything that I thought was quite charming about us, he wanted to lie about.
“For me it’s hard having an opinion on this band. If I wasn’t involved I can’t imagine liking us a lot, just because I only control 25% of it.
“In every song there’s something I wish I could change. Each one of us are like that, though.”
