Kings Of Leon have cancelled the remainder of their US tour so frontman Caleb Followill can overcome a problem with his voice and exhaustion.
The band abandoned a gig in Dallas on Friday (July 29) after the singer walked off stage complaining that his voice was “100 percent gone”.
The gig - and another date in Houston postponed in the wake of the incident - were rescheduled, but have now been cancelled along with 26 other dates.
A statement said: "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."
It added that the dates could not be rescheduled because of Kings Of Leon’s upcoming international schedule.

The tour will now resume in Canada at Rogers Center in Vancouver on September 28 - a date originally scheduled for September 14.
On Twitter, drummer Nathan Followill: “Bummed about the tour not happening. So sorry 4 all the fans. We just need some rest. Thanks 4 understanding. WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP!”
Both he and Jared Followill appeared to suggest that the band’s problems ran deeper than their brother’s voice problem in Dallas in previous posts on the micro-blogging website.
