Kings Of Leon's Caleb Followill on 'scary' AI, sponsoring a darts player, and taking on Taylor Swift

'When you first start out, it's you versus the world,' says Kings Of Leon's frontman, Caleb Followill, speaking from his home in Nashville, Tennessee. He remembers the comparisons - 'the Southern Strokes, I think someone called us Y'all 2, like U2, which was funny' - and how each one added to the fire in their bellies to make their own name.

'As far as music, it doesn't take AI to sound like us, my god. We're still learning how to play, so our skill level is still very much achievable by just human beings. It's not going to take aliens or artificial intelligence.' After When You See Yourself, they parted ways with their long-term record label. Rather than being a negative experience, 'we felt like we were free for the first time since the very beginning', says Followill.
