Kings Of Leon's Awkward Dylan Meeting

Rockers Kings Of Leon were so overwhelmed to meet their boyhood hero Bob Dylan that they risked embarrassment by throwing their arms around the star for a group hug.


The band are longtime admirers of the Blowin' In The Wind hitmaker and when they finally got a chance to meet their idol, the musicians were shocked when drummer Nathan Followill rushed up and embraced Dylan.


Bandmate Caleb Followill says, "Nathan had had a couple of beers and actually grabbed his (Dylan's) hand and pulled him in for a hug, and literally everyone was like (sharp intake of breath)."


But once Nathan had broken the ice with the singer, they all joined in the hugging.


Caleb adds, "He patted Nathan on the back, and then kind of opened his arms and hugged him and we all hugged him. And then when (guitarist) Matthew hugged him, he knocked off his hat and so the moment - it kind of went wrong."
