Kings of Leon cancel US tour

Kings of Leon have cancelled their US tour after singer Caleb Followill was hit by vocal problems and exhaustion.

The cancellation comes three days after Followill left the stage mid-show in Dallas, Texas, due to what he called “excessive” and “unbearable” heat. But other members of the family band said over the weekend that its problems went beyond dehydration, something that was not addressed in a statement yesterday.
