Kings of Leon cancelled their Sunday show in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., after drummer Nathan Followill broke his ribs on the band's tour bus.
A post on the band's Facebook page confirmed the details:
The band was en route to their hotel after their show in Boston when a pedestrian jumped in front of their tour bus, causing the bus to stop short, injuring Nathan Followill.
Nathan is being treated for broken ribs, but is doing well. The band will postpone the show that was planned for TONIGHT, August 10th, until further notice. Refunds for ticket holders will be available at point of purchase.
After fans showed their support in the comments section, NME pointed out that Followill tweeted his thanks:
Thank you for all of the get well soons. I'm a little banged up but will be back better than ever.
