Kings of Leon’s Australian tour seems to be dogged by problems. After having to downgrade venues and shift dates around the whole tour has now been postponed. According to the promoter, the lap around Australia and South Africa has been put on ice ‘to allow drummer Nathan Followill to recover from surgery for a torn right labrum and bicep.’

Followill says to his Aussie and South African fans “Sorry to all the fans in Australia and South Africa. My bum wing needs more time to heal but we’ll be back later this year. Sorry again”. Promoters Frontier Touring are sorting out new dates this week and will keep fans posted – hold on to your tickets for the rescheduled dates.
