Nathan Followill is a dad

Kings Of Leon rocker Nathan Followill will be ringing in the New Year as a first-time father.

The drummer's wife, singer Jessie Baylin, gave birth to a daughter, named Violet Marlowe, on Wednesday afternoon in Nashville, Tennessee.

This is the latest baby to join the Followill clan - Nathan's musician brother Caleb welcomed his first child, Dixie Pearl, with model Lily Aldridge earlier this year, and his guitarist sibling Matthew and wife Johanna Bennett became parents to a son called Knox in 2011.

Followill and Baylin wed in 2009.
