Kings of Leon’s tribute to bomb victims

KINGS OF LEON dedicated one of their best known songs to the Manchester Arena terror attack victims as they brought Radio 1’s Big Weekend festival to a close.

The US rockers took a moment during their headline set in Hull on Sunday to pay tribute to 22 people killed at the Ariana Grande concert.

They played Use Somebody, a 2008 hit which includes the lyrics, ‘You know that I could use somebody, someone like you’. Frontman Caleb Followill said: ‘I dedicate this song to the city of Manchester… we stand with you.’

Other stars including Katy Perry, Emeli Sande, Zara Larsson, Rita Ora and Kasabian guitarist Sergio Pizzorno also added their tributes to the victims over the weekend.
