Short story:

After 45 minutes on stage in The Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas, Texas, USA, Caleb Followill, frontman of Kings Of Leon, leaves the stage. The show, and the remaining 26 American dates on their tour are then cancelled for reasons described as Caleb's "vocal issues and exhaustion".

Caleb Followill : I just had a bad day, I guess. We'd been playing outdoor venues that were 105 degrees. We were exhausted, my voice was nonexistent. I was doing everything I could to get by.

Ken Levitan (co-manager) : Caleb was having real problems with his throat. "Was he drinking a bit? Yeah. He was trying to get through the shows. That's partially why he was drinking. But [the tour cancellation] was really a blessing in disguise, because that's how we found out about the issues with his throat. He couldn't talk for two weeks, and the doctor said, 'You're not allowed to sing.' That's the story that didn't get out there.
