Kings Of Leon love the black stuff

Kings of Leon, who are playing the London O2 Arena tonight, are such big fans of Guinness that they have requested a special shipment of 'the black stuff' from the Dublin brewery.

Upon request of the boys Guinness have arranged to send them their own supply for the band and all of their staff as well as some Guinness glassware to be used back stage.

A spokesman involved in arranging the delivery said: "We've sent them a Guinness Surger unit so that they can enjoy the magic of Guinness Draught."

Guinness are in the process of launching these in bars in Britain that don't have Guinness Draught on tap. The unit uses ultra-sonic technology, that at the push of a button releases an ultra-sonic pulse into the glass bringing the pint to life with the iconic surge and settle motion.
