Mon, 01 Aug 2011

Over the weekend, Kings of Leon hit problems on their US tour when frontman Caleb Followill failed to finish their concert in Dallas, Texas, leaving the stage with 3 songs left to play.

The singer who has denied being drunk during the performance told the fans of the struggle he was having at the show, "I'm trying to sing but I haven't got a voice, I've got nothing.I'm not drunk, I'm just fucking hot."
Bassist Jared Followill address the fans in Dallas when the show had to end earlier than planned when the frontman didn't return to explain, "Hate Caleb, not us! I don't know what to say. It's not our fault. It's Caleb." 
The next night the band postponed their show in Houston, Texas (which has been resecheduled to September) claiming in the official announcement that the frontman was suffering from "heat exhaustion and dehydration".

Sparking rumours of conflict and problems within the band, Jared Followill took to his Twitter on Saturday to apologise to the fans, he said, "Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words."

The bassist then went on to add that, "I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren't stupid. I can't lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade."

Drummer, Nathan also posted on his twitter, "Not so good morning 4 me today. Ashamed & embarrassed by last night's fiasco."The band are scheduled to return to the stage in Tampa, Florida tomorrow.
