A Kings of Leon Post...I know right?

(Matthew is missing, is he a dad yet?)

During a concert on Saturday in Dallas Caleb left the stage saying he was too hot, he said he was going to throw up, drink a beer and then return. He never did. Both Jared and Nathan took to their twitters apologizing to fans, and Jared in classic Jared fashion said more than he probably should have and continues to do so.

As of now the US tour has been cancelled, the reason: exhaustion, which apparently in the entertainment industry is a euphemism for 'substance abuse', this of course should not be shocking to anyone who has ever paid any attention to King of Leon. These boys were living the fast life way back in '03 and apparently haven't stopped...well Caleb at least. He always was the one causing shit, starting fights, being the biggest prima donna, which is saying a lot. The one with the darkest demons always was, and always will be Caleb. I had hopped he had reeled it in a bit being married and finally conquering the US but apparently not but of course its only a matter of time before a lifestyle of excess catches up with you, and it seems that time is now.

They're supposed to be back on the road by late September but I wouldn't be surprised if that didn't happen, whatever Caleb's dealing with, whatever the band as a whole is dealing with, its going to take more than a month and a half to resolve. I haven't paid much attention to the boys in a long while, what they're putting down, I don't want to pick up but its still sad to see this happening to them when they've worked so hard for so long. What ever's going on I hope they can move past it, it would be a shame to see this all pissed away.
