Kings of Leon 'Will Never Split Like Oasis'

Kings Of Leon are taking a six-month break from music to indulge their favorite hobbies - the rockers have plans for camping holidays and fishing trips.

The Grammy-nominated band has finished putting together songs for its upcoming fifth studio album, and the musicians are treating themselves to a hiatus until they need to begin promotional work for the new record next summer (10).

And the bandmembers have already got exciting ideas for their big break.

Nathan Followill tells Britain's Q magazine, "We're going to take six months off now. I'm going to sit on my couch and cry tears of joy sitting in my pants with a tub of chocolate chip cookie ice cream. Then it's on to the golf course, a bit of fishing and some camping in the wild. Cooking your own meat under the stars, that's the way to reconnect with something real after a year of immigration lines at the airport."

His cousin Matthew adds, "I second that. Camping in Montana, with some fishing."

Despite the break Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill is convinced the band will never suffer the same fate as Oasis - because their family ties are too strong.

The band consists of brothers Nathan, Caleb and Jared, and their cousin Mathew.

Nathan admits that although the group does fight regularly, they will never follow in the footsteps of British band Oasis - who split over the summer (09) following a bust-up between warring siblings Liam and Noel Gallagher.

Nathan tells Britain's Q magazine, "I'm not sure what happened with those guys. All brothers fight, they just forgot to do the making up bit. But then again, they seemed to be having the same family row (fight) for like, 10 or 15 years so maybe it was time.

"But we have a special strength because we had an upbringing where we didn't have outsiders in the social circle for the longest time. That makes a big difference.

We bug the hell out of each other day to day, but the relationship is so deep it can be like we share a brain between us. We might kill each other, but I don't think we'd split".
