Kings of Leon announced the cancellation of their U.S. tour following an onstage meltdown at a performance in Dallas on Friday night (July 29). Frontman Caleb Followill walked offstage after claiming he was too hot to perform, and the band subsequently postponed its show in Houston scheduled for the following night.

"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," reads a statement from the band's publicist. "The band is devastated, but in order to give their fans the shows they deserve, they need to take this break."

The statement also says that the 28 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."

The tour was scheduled to make a swing throughout the Southeast this week, starting with Tampa on Tuesday (Aug. 2) and winding through West Palm Beach (Aug. 3), Charlotte (Aug. 5) and Virginia Beach (Aug. 6) before heading up to the Northeast.

During Friday's Dallas show, Followill told fans at the Gexa Energy Pavilion that his voice was "100 percent gone" due to the heat. "I'm gonna go backstage and I'm gonna vomit, I'm gonna drink a beer and I'm gonna come back out and play three more songs," Followill told the crowd before leaving the stage for good.
