Written by Elliott Batte
Kings of Leon singer and guitarist Matthew Followill has revealed that his partner has given birth to his first child, who arrived on April 22nd.
Named Knox, the baby was a healthy child weighing in at six pounds and ten ounces, and was born in Nashville in the US. Someone close to Matthew has said: “Mother, father and baby are happy and healthy and doing well.”
Matthew is the first of the musical Followill family to have a baby, following on from Caleb’s marriage to model Lily Aldridge, on May 12th, and Nathan’s 2009 marriage to singer-songwriter Jessie Baylin.
Luckily for Kings of Leon fans worldwide it doesn’t look as though the birth will affect the band’s summer plans, with plenty of massive arena shows scheduled for the months ahead. You can click the link below to buy and compare prices of Kings of Leon tickets for the up and coming tours and shows.
