KINGS OF LEON - KINGS OF LEON PLAN REHAB TRIP

Southern rockers KINGS OF LEON are considering a spell in rehab when they finish their tour dates with U2 because they're partying too hard with the Irishmen.

The group members, who are all former hardcore Christians, admit after-show and pre-show get togethers are hedonistic affairs - and they're struggling to keep up.

Drummer NATHAN FOLLOWILL says, "We're going straight to rehab after this tour. A BETTY FORD clinic just happens to be in Chattanooga, not far from our place.

"Mum can visit on the weekend and bring us fresh socks and cigarettes."
