" Kings of Leon star Jared Followill has said that they felt a responsibility to organize a benefit for Oklahoma tornado victims. The &amp;#039;Sex on Fire&amp;#039; band are headlining &amp;#039;Rock for Oklahoma&amp;#039; with The Flaming Lips and Jackson Browne on July 23 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.    \u00A9 PA Images / Lynne Cameron/PA Archive   Jared discussed the benefit with The AP, and revealed that Kings of Leon felt compelled to aid relief efforts because half of the band hails from Oklahoma. &amp;quot;It just felt like something we could lend a hand to. We talked about just donating some money,&amp;quot; the musician recalled. &amp;quot;You know we just all started talking and we realized we&amp;#039;d probably raise more money by doing a show and it would probably be more fun for us than just writing a cheque.&amp;quot; He went on to say: &amp;quot;We can go there and be with the people, be with our family. It was one of those things that we didn&amp;#039;t realize that it could happen. The people that we work with just made it happen really quickly.&amp;quot;    \u00A9 PA Images / Chris Pizzello/AP  Lily Aldridge with Kings of Leon  &amp;#039;Rock for Oklahoma&amp;#039; will also feature special performances by Built to Spill, Ben Kweller and Grace Potter, in addition to a celebrity auction for a meet-and-greet with Caleb Followill&amp;#039;s wife Lily Aldridge. Proceeds from the charity concert will benefit United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund.
