Kings' Caleb 'regrets Sex On Fire slam'

Caleb Followill has apologised for comments he made about his band's hit single 'Sex On Fire'.

The Kings of Leon frontman previously criticised the song, calling it a "piece of s**t" and branding fans of the track as "not f**king cool".

However, he insisted that he is now "ashamed" of the remarks and did not mean to offend the band's supporters.

"For a while there, I turned into someone I wasn't proud of," he told NME.

"I wasn't appreciative of the admiration we were getting, and I said some things that I'm ashamed of. I hurt people who were genuine fans of the band because I was embarrassed to look out from the stage every night and see people who weren't like me."
