It has been so huge, in fact, that singers are scrambling to make an appearance on it or at least have their music featured on the show. Britney Spears is the latest pop star to come abroad and even legendary Paul McCartney asked the show\u2019s producers if he could collaborate with them. They gladly agreed. Well, it seems that not everyone is thrilled about the idea of working with Glee. One group turned down the mega popular televisions program. They are the Kings of Leon. The Kings of Leon said no to the show\u2019s request to use their music.<\/p>\n<p>The well known rock n\u2019 roll group from Tennessee, in an interview with NME in England, stated that the group turns down a lot of things and that they had never watched Glee, though Jared Folowill (bassist) acknowledged that \u201capparently everybody loves it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cWe could have sold out so much more. We turn stuff down constantly,\u201d frontman Caleb Followill added. \u201cWe had some people call us up wanting to know if we\u2019d allow \u2018Use Somebody\u2019 to appear in the trailer for their next movie, and we turned them down. Next day, they called back and tried to put us through to the star of the movie\u2014I won\u2019t name names, but he\u2019s an incredibly famous actor\u2014to let him try and convince us to agree to do it.\u201cI was like, \u2018Man, don\u2019t even waste your energy\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The group has made one exception as it concerns working with commercial projects. They did allow the television show, Gossip Girl to use a few tracks from their record, Only by The Night,, which was released in 2008. The three songs were Use Somebody, Sex on Fire and Closer.<\/p>\n<p>The band will soon be starting a tour. Their first date is scheduled for September. \u00a0The group will perform at the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana.
