GOSSIP: Kings Of Leon are drunks!?
Kings Of Leon abandoned a gig in Dallas on Friday after Caleb Followill got drunk and then stormed offstage in search of another beer. He told fans, “I’m trying my best to sing but I haven’t got a voice, I’ve got nothing here. I’m not drunk, I’m just hot.” When he didn’t return, Jared Followill told fans, “Hate Caleb, not us. I don’t know what to say. It’s not our fault. It’s Caleb. He can’t play the rest of the show. We will be back as soon as possible. I know you guys hate us. I’m so sorry, burn our records. We would play right now if we could. We’re so sorry.” There seem to be some big issues going on inside the quartet known as Kings Of Leon. According to Billboard, frontman Caleb Followill cut short a concert in Dallas on Friday (July 29th) after he told fans he had to throw up and exited the stage. Although he promised to return, he never did, with his brother and bassist Jared Followill reportedly telling the crowd, “We are so unbelievably sorry. There’s no words right now, it’s beyond our control. Caleb’s just a little unfit to play the rest of the show.” Although dehydration and heat exhaustion were the official reasons for Caleb’s exit — and temperatures in Dallas were blistering that day — Jared later tweeted, “There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed.” He added later, “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.”Video posted of the Dallas gig showed Caleb telling the crowd that his voice was “100 percent gone.” A concert in the Houston area on Saturday night (July 30th) was also canceled. The last time Kings Of Leon stopped a concert was a year ago in St. Louis, when they claimed that pigeons defecating on the stage were a health hazard. Kings Of Leon are next scheduled to perform in Tampaon Tuesday night (August 2nd).
