Kings of Leon star Caleb Followill was stunned when his model wife asked him to write a song about her, because she was the inspiration for an album s worth of tracks.
The Sex on Fire singer met Lily Aldridge at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in 2007 and they were married four years later. Throughout their courtship, Aldridge inspired Followill to write a book full of lyrics and tunes - but she had no idea. I don t really tell her when a song is about her, Followill told the Irish Independent.
