In late January of 2011, Kings of Leon and the television show cast of “Glee” had an argument whether Glee should be able to cover a song of the band Kings of Leon. The band declined. This made Ryan Murphy, the creator of “Glee”, lash out. Nathan Followill wrote via Twitter some very rude comments about Murphy. Not only did this make Murphy furious, but it also created an unnecessary fight between the two bands.
Later that day, after Murphy had read the tweet, he just had to fight back. Again via twitter Followhill made another status claiming he was truly sorry about what he said to Murphy and that it wasn’t the real him. Either way, Murphy was still upset, not because of what Nathan said, but that they declined to having their song sung to kids. “-and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument. It's like, OK, hate on arts education. You can make fun of “Glee” all you want, but at its heart, what we really do is turn kids on to music.”
This was said via the magazine. But recently thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow text messaging the two fighting bands, she realized they needed to get over it and just drop it. Successfully they did and now they are no longer fighting. This made many fans of both groups extremely happy.
