King Charles Finds a 'Golden' Road to Fame -- Exclusive Video

Mysterious and bearded freak-folk rocker King Charles can fit a lot into a sentence. On his song 'Love Lust,' the British bard explores a menagerie of genres, taking leaps and bounds between each chorus and verse with bouts of Southern rock and psychedelia, while describing the ever-changing nature of love. In this exclusive video interview, King Charles discusses his friendship with Mumford and Sons, how he loves to be onstage and the road that led to the King Charles moniker.

"Well becoming King Charles ... It was a golden-paved road lined with pearls, ridden on horse back and chariots," he tells Spinner. It had its ups and downs.".
