London, Dec 31 American rock band 'Kings Of Leon' performed at Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's Christmas party on December 29 night.

Abramovich doled out 300,000 pounds to get the rockers to perform a one-hour set, and the Chelsea FC owner even missed out on the Blues' 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage on December 28 to watch the Followill clan.

"Kings Of Leon are one of the biggest bands around at the moment and Roman is a big fan," the Sun quoted a partygoer as saying.

"He had to pay a premium to get them to play the gig over Christmas because they were taking a well-earned break with their family after a very busy year," the partygoer added. (ANI)
