wonder if the Tampa show next week will happen???

Kings Of Leon nix another US gig as Jared Followill admits: 'We've got big problems'

Kings Of Leon have cancelled a gig in Houston tonight (July 30), leading bassist Jared Followill to admit that the band are dealing with some 'big' problems.

The Tennessee rockers were due to play at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion as part of their current US tour, but pulled out following last night's (29) abandonment of a show in Dallas.

A statement on the venue's website Woodlandscenter.org said that singer Caleb Followill is suffering from "heat exhaustion and dehydration".

However, writing on his Twitter page Twitter.com/youngfollowill shortly after, bassist Jared Followill appeared to mock his brother and revealed the band were dealing with internal issues.

He wrote:

I love our fans so much. I know you guys aren't stupid. I can't lie. There are problems in our band bigger than not drinking enough Gatorade.

Caleb walked offstage at the Gexa Energy Pavilion last night (29) after complaining of vocal problems. He told fans he was heading backstage to vomit and grab another beer, promising to return for three more songs which ultimately failed to materialise.

Jared took to the stage to apologise for the no show and said Caleb was "a little unfit" to carry on with the gig. "Fucking hate Caleb, not us," he told the jeering crowd.

The bassist later tweeted that there were "internal sicknesses and problems" in the band.

Tonight's gig has been rescheduled for September 22. There has been no word from the band on whether Caleb's illness will affect any other dates on the US tour, with gigs in Tampa, West Palm Beach, Charlotte and Virginia Beach lined up next week.

Team Liam vs Team Noel..who will win?

Liam Gallagher: 'Noel is a little bitch'

Liam Gallagher has hit back at Noel once more, branding his brother a "little bitch."

The pair have been locked in a war of words ever since Noel broke his silence over the Oasis split at the launch of his new solo project 'Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds', with the older sibling calling Liam a "born liar."

But now, the Beady Eye frontman has spoken out once again in an interview with MTV Canada, calling into question his brother’s version of events, as well as calling his character into question.

Liam said:

I just know he lies. Noel wasn’t bullied out of the band. And then he writes a statement like that saying 'Oh, I've been bullied out of the band' and management and all that, and two days later, the people he reckons bullied him, and the people who weren’t listening to his little sob story, were around at his house having tea on his lawn. I'm just disappointed for him, and his fans... I have my [bad days] but Noel Gallagher can be a little bitch when he wants to be.

Oasis split up after an altercation at a French festival in 2009. Both brothers tell conflicting stories about what really went on.
