  • Kings of Leon ended a concert abruptly in Dallas, TX, this weekend after Caleb Followill appeared unfit to perform. "I'm gonna go backstage and I'm gonna vomit," he said. "I'm gonna drink a beer and I'm gonna come back out and play three songs." The frontman never returned, however, prompting his bandmates to apologize profusely to the audience. (Watch video below.)

    In a statement, the band cited dehydration and exhaustion and have rescheduled the gig for September 21. But Jared Followill's Twitter suggests there are bigger issues within the band. "There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words," he wrote. "There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade."
