Kings of Leon Bring a Soulful Sensuality Covering Selena Gomez's "Hands to Myself"
Kings Of Leon are supporting their seventh studio album WALLS that was released last week and on Wednesday (Oct. 19) visited the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for a performance that included a steamy cover of Selena Gomez's "Hands to Myself."
The set comes about three years since their last visit to the Live Lounge, when they notably reimagined Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." Adding this pop track to their repertoire, it seems the Followills have a type, putting a similar mellow ans forlorn vibe onto the track, lending a bit of subtle "Sex on Fire" sensuality.
Pop covers are a popular feature of the Live Lounge performances with Gallant covering The Chainsmokers, James Bay covering Coldplay, Fifth Harmony covering Elle King and much more over this past year.

Adele Issues Important Update: "I Am Eating the Best Burrito of My Life"
Adele made a very important announcement on Monday (Aug. 15): She was eating the best burrito of her life.
"It is an explosively joyous moment," the superstar singer shared with her Twitter followers.
Adele was presumably eating said burrito in Los Angeles while on tour supporting 25. On Saturday, she performed her sixth sold out show in a string of dates at the city's Staples Center. Tuesday and Wednesday she will perform in Phoenix (where they probably have some good burritos too) before returning to Los Angeles next weekend for two more sold out Staples Center shows - totaling eight in all.
Now Adele fans and foodies alike are just hoping she'll reveal where the burrito was from. But, so far, there's been no word.
Adele also says earlier she declined offer to perform at 2017 Super Bowl Halftime Show: watch video here
On Sunday (Aug. 14), the NFL and Pepsi released the following joint statement:
"The NFL and Pepsi are big fans of Adele. We have had conversations with several artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show. However, we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else. We are focused on putting together a fantastic show for Houston and we look forward to revealing that in good time."
The Super Bowl takes place at Houston’s NRG Stadium on Feb. 5, 2017 and will be televised on Fox.
Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars performed at 2016’s halftime show.

U2 replaced by Coldplay at Glastonbury?
Rockers Coldplay have reportedly been approached to take over U2's headlining slot at the famed Glastonbury festival - after frontman Bono underwent emergency spinal surgery on Friday.
Organisers of the leading music festival are rushing to find a possible replacement for the Beautiful Day hitmakers after Bono injured his back while preparing for the band's 360 Degree world tour.
Chris Martin and his bandmates are currently working on their next album after wrapping up their Viva La Vida trek - but are said to be considering Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis' offer to play the festival next month.
London rapper Dizzee Rascal is also believed to be in consideration for the slot on 25 June, according to The Sun.
Bono, 50, is said to be recuperating under the care of a sports injury specialist and a neurosurgeon. U2 have scrapped the first show of their North American tour and are expected to make further cancellations due to Bono's back problems. Source: Ananova

Coldplay fatten up
Coldplay have revealed that they may have overdone their celebrations after the success of their latest album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
Chris, Guy, Jonny and Will are concerned about how much weight they’ve piled on over recent months due to the amount of "baked goods" they have consumed.
Singer Chris Martin told the Daily Mirror: "It happens whenever we have some downtime, usually between albums.
"We get very hairy and kind of morph into Bill Oddie – we stack on the weight."
But the world conquering foursome have taken dietary advise from an unlikely source, former Stone Roses bassist, and legendary caner, Mani.
Chris explained: "He was eating a sandwich and I asked him what was in it. He told me salad and that I should eat the same. Mani warned us that nobody likes a fat pop star." Source: Ananova

Coldplay feel unloved
Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin says the group feel unpopular.
He says while writing their new album they only seemed to get negative press.
According to Digitalspy quoting Radio One, he said: "We've been away for so long now and the only public feedback we get is tabloid gossip, which is generally vitriolic."
"So at this point we feel so unpopular and so out of the loop."
"The only people we've met who have anything to do with Coldplay have been in our faces and trying to take our picture, people who generally don't like us."
The band, whose last album release was A Rush Of Blood To The Head in 2002, are touring this summer to promote their next album which is due for release in June.
He added: "It seems surreal that we're going to play concerts again because I haven't met anyone who likes us for two years.
"Quite where these people are going to come from, I'm not sure. But I hope they're out there somewhere." Source: Ananova

Franz Ferdinand set to scoop top award
Franz Ferdinand have all but won Mercury Music Prize - according to the bookies.
Ladbrokes are refusing to take any more bets on the prestigious award.
They say Franz Ferdinand are clear favourites, after being neck and neck with The Streets, with The Zutons as outsiders.
Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said: "Money points to glory for Franz Ferdinand but the biggest gamble has been on The Zutons. If they win it would be a poor result for us and a case of who killed the bookmakers.
"Overall, punters have found this year's Mercury hard to call, there are so many acts who have already established commercial success.
"All signs indicate that we'll see an historic turning point for Franz Ferdinand or a killer gamble landed by The Zutons."
Last year's award was picked up by Dizzee Rascal, beating off tough competition from Coldplay and favourites, The Darkness. Source: Ananova

Chris Martin wants to be a rapper
Chris Martin says he always wanted to be a rapper and admits listening to Jay-Z to get inspiration for Coldplay's new album.
The revelation came during an exclusive interview on South Leicestershire's Harborough FM radio station.
Martin said: "I've been listening to Jay-Z and Kraftwerk a lot. Trying to get inspiration for the last few songs on our album."
He also joked about Coldplay's mock rap outfit The Nappies, who recorded a comedy song for Paltrow just before her baby's birth and put it up on the Coldplay website.
When asked if the track would be an indication of the style of the new Coldplay album, Martin laughed: "I think strangely it might.
"I think every white guy growing up in Devon dreams of being able to rap, and that's why we signed The Nappies - it was something that we could never be."
Martin surprised Harborough FM listeners when he spoke to long-time Coldplay fan Thom Costall on his radio show.
He said he was enjoying parenthood since the birth of his baby daughter Apple with Gwyneth Paltrow and was looking forward to the new album.
"Everything's great. I've just been writing lyrics and doing baby things. It's great man, it's the best thing that's ever happened.
"If someone told me my life at the moment would be changing nappies and writing lyrics I would've taken it, Y'know? It's my dream come true." Source: Ananova

Radiohead and Coldplay favourites for Mercury Prize
Radiohead and Coldplay are joint favourites to take this year's Panasonic Mercury Music Prize.
Radiohead's Hail to the Thief became their third LP to make the the short-list, while Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head follows their debut as a Mercury nominee.
Both are ranked 4-1 to take the title by bookmaker William Hill when the winner is announced on September 9.
Eight of the shortlisted releases are debut albums, although Martina Topley-Bird - nominated for her first album Quixotic - has been up for the £20,000 prize in previous years. She provided vocals to Tricky's Maxinquaye album, which competed for the 1995 award.
South London duo Floetry have found only limited success in the UK, but their higher profile in the US saw them nominated at the Grammys earlier this year and they have worked with acts such as Justin Timberlake.
They are nominated for their debut Floetic.
Hotly tipped garage act Dizzee Rascal finds himself on the shortlist little over a fortnight after he was hospitalised following a stabbing incident in Cyprus, where he was performing.
The 18-year-old is nominated for his first album Boy in Da Corner.
Other stars to be shortlisted for their debut releases are The Thrills, Soweto Kinch, The Darkness, Athlete and Terri Walker.
