Kings of Leon Cancels

Kings of Leon has canceled the rest of their US tour according to Spinner.com. A statement claimed exhaustion and vocal issues from frontman Caleb Followill, but bandmate and brother Jared Followill suggests otherwise on Twitter. His tweet pulled from the article says, "I know you guys aren't stupid. I can't lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade." Jared took to Twitter again to appease rumors of breaking up, so what is the mysterious issues behind the band's cancelation of the tour? Let's hope it is something curable and not hinting at heavy drug use, which the band hasn't denied in the past.

The band got slack last year for their pigeon fiasco in St. Louis, and abruptly ending a tour midway through this year doesn't make the band look so great. There are conflicting articles about when the band will really return and if the shows will be rescheduled. Let's hope all will be good with the world and KOL will be back full force.

Man, am I lucky to have seen a great, full show last week before the tour ended!

Includes video of apology at Dallas show as KOL gets booed for not finishing the set.

Access Hollywood also published an article on their website, but has some different information compared to Spinner's.
