Kings of Leon tour cancelled

Kings of Leon have cancelled their tours in March to South Africa and Australia due to Nathan Folowill needing 'his bum wing to heal.' He also said, 'Sorry to all the South African and Australian fans, we will be back later on this year.'
Jared Folowill followed the previous tweet with: 'well, I now have March off. Any ideas for fun? I could always fly down to Australia and party anyway. i need some sun.' - guy why don't you just do your gig if you are going to come here and chill in the sun?? You just peeved 1000's of fans. Including me who was thrilled for your concert here in South Africa.
Dates have been set for November this year so we will just have to wait another 10 months for them.
