(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Rihanna says Kings of Leon stayed in the sickest hotel suite she has ever seen.

The singer is a big fan of the American rock band, and went to see them perform in Las Vegas this year. She was thrilled when she got to meet the group comprising brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill and was even more excited when she was invited to spend time with them after the show.

It was the most awesome trip ever, she enthused. I couldnt get over the singers voice - so soulful, rich and raspy. It gave me goosebumps. We met the band after the show and discovered we were staying in the same hotel. We got to hang out with them by the pool, then go to a party in one of their rooms. I swear it was the sickest suite Ive ever seen. It even had a bowling alley in there.

The trip came during a busy year for Rihanna, during which she has been on tour, recorded a new album and started shooting her first movie role. The 22-year-old loves being busy, and cant wait to see how her new record Loud is received by fans. She worked on it while on her Last Girl on Earth Tour, and her dedication to it was huge.

We took a studio bus on tour and, after every show, wed sit in an empty car park until 5am and record, she told Culture magazine. Then wed get back on the tour bus and sleep for a few hours. Every afternoon, I had acting classes; every evening, a two-hour show, then another studio session. (C) Cover Media
