Kings of Leon canceled the remainder of their U.S. tour after lead singer Caleb Followill fell ill at a concert last week. The band said that Followill was “suffering from vocal issues and exhaustion.”

During a concert in Dallas on Friday, Followill left the stage after complaining about the heat. At the time, he said, “I’m going to go backstage and I’m going to vomit, I’m going to drink a beer, and I’m going to come back out and play three more songs.” But he did not return to the stage.

Following the cancellation of performances, the band is next scheduled to perform live on Sept. 28 in Vancouver.

Here's the official announcement:

We are so sorry to say Kings of Leon are canceling their entire US tour due to Caleb Followill suffering from vocal issues and exhaustion. The band is devastated, but in order to give their fans the shows they deserve, they need to take this break.

Unfortunately, the US dates cannot be rescheduled due to the band's international tour schedule. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. Tickets purchased online or via phones will be automatically refunded. The band will resume touring in Canada at the Rogers Center in Vancouver, BC, on September 28th. That show was originally schedule for September 14th.
