KINGS OF LEON IN SMOKING ROW

Rockers KINGS OF LEON are at the centre of a smoking row after guitarist MATTHEW FOLLOWILL lit up during a concert in Wales.

MATTHEW FOLLOWILL

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 on Wednesday (17Dec08).

The incident was reported to officials at Cardiff Council, who have launched an investigation, according to British newspaper the Daily Star Sunday.

If Followill is found to have breached the smoking rules, he will be hit with a $73 (GBP50) charge and the venue could be handed a much higher fine.
