The Kings Of Leon show in Dallas was stopped after lead singer Caleb Followill left the stage during the band’s set. According to audience reports, he said-
“I love my wife, I love my kid..you guys are the greatest. I need to take a break, drink some tequila and a beer. I’ll be back for 3 more songs”
His brothers came out minutes later to announce the show was canceled. The audience went nuts.
Story still developing.

Nathan Followill
“So sorry Dallas, your heat got the best of a few of us. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience of all this bullshit. We’ll be back soon.”
Jared Followill
