Kings Of Leon: Nathan Followill was injured
According to Billboard, the drummer is under strict doctor's orders not to perform on stage until late this month. "To avoid complications and to make a full recovery, a break from performing to Aug. 28 is necessary," Dr. Faiz Bhora said in a statement.
The resulting tour cancellation affects nine different concerts in five states.

The Mechanical Bull Tour is set to resume on Aug. 28 in Holmdel, New Jersey.
The cancelled tour dates are a result of a tour bus accident that took place on Aug. 10. According to the band's Facebook page, a pedestrian jumped in front of the band's tour bus, causing the vehicle to stop short and, as a result, Followill broke several ribs.
He appears to be in good health and posted a message of thanks to YouTube.
Kings Of Leon are still due to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon tonight (Aug. 12), with Questlove subbing in for Followill.
