Kings Of Leon are at the centre of a smoking row after guitarist Matthew Followill sparked up a cigarette during a gig in Wales.

The star is said to have flouted the British smoking ban, which prohibits cigarettes from all public indoor areas, including music venues, while on stage at the International Arena in Cardiff, Wales last Wednesday (December 17).

The incident was reported to officials at Cardiff Council, who have launched an investigation, media reports claim.

If Followill is found to have breached the smoking rules, he will be hit with a £50 charge and the venue could be handed a much higher fine.
