Kings of Leon Cancel Entire US Tour

added 02 August 2011 at 10.12

After a disasterous show in Texas the band have canceled the rest of their north American tour dates...

It comes after lead singer Caleb Followill walked off during a show (leading to the rest of the band being booed off when he didn't return) on Friday and then cancelled one in Houston on Saturday.

Following the walk off the other members vented their frustrations online - leading to speculation about an internal rift.

Bassist Jared tweeted: "Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses and problems that have needed to be addressed."

He added: "I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren't stupid. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade."

A statement from their people overnight says the tour's been shelved due to Caleb suffering from exhaustion and vocal problems.

Jared Followill has since tweeted that it doesn't mean the band are breaking up though.
