Kings of Leon Win Award

Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill married singer Jessie Baylin in the US on Saturday.

People magazine reports that the couple were married in an outdoor ceremony in Brentwood, Tennessee.

In a Twitter post on Sunday morning, 30-year-old Followill wrote: “I woke up with a married woman in my bed this morning. Luckily she was mine.”

A spokesman told People: “It was a gorgeous, 70 degree day and the wedding was beautiful. It was a very love-affirming wedding with lots of warmth and happiness.”

Kings Of Leon had another reason to celebrate and were the toast of American universities after students selected them to win the top prize at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards.

Students across the U.S. voted for their favourite acts to be honoured at the sixth annual ceremony at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom hosted by mtvU, the college branch of MTV.

The Sex on Fire hitmakers took home the Woodie of the Year trophy, while actress Zooey Deschanel was on hand to present the Breaking Woodie award to teenage pop star Never Shout Never. Green Day’s live concerts were also recognised with the Performing Woodie.

Indie duo Matt and Kim kicked off the show by performing their song Lessons Learned, a track which later scored the Best Video Woodie, taking to the stage with eight back-up dancers who stripped down to their underwear.

Rockers Passion Pit and Death Cab For Cutie also performed, while rapper Clipse thrilled fans by teaming up with hip-hop stars Cam’ron and Rick Ross for a live collaboration.
