Last month saw Kings of Leon share their acoustic track Going Nowhere from isolation.

The song was released to help raise awareness of Live Nation's Global Relief Fund to support live music crews and venues during the COVID-19 battle.

The accompanying black and white video saw frontman Caleb Followill perform the emotional track, while strumming on the guitar.

It was accompanied with the caption: "Visit @livenation’s Global Relief Fund for live music crews to see how you can support touring and venue crews impacted by COVID-19: livenation.com/crewnation".
