Kings of Leon postpones London concert after fire

12/22/2010 by Corinne Heller

Rock band Kings of Leon was recently forced to postpone a London concert after a fire broke out on a tour bus parked onsite at the O2 arena.

No injuries were reported but venue officials said there was not enough time to prepare the O2 for the performance.

"I'm so bummed about 2nites show," Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill said on his Twitter page. "Sorry 4 the fans, 4 our crew who lost all their (expletive), including passports. I'm thankful everyone's safe."

The concert was the last stop of the band's tour of the United States and Europe, which began in June. Kings of Leon is also set to tour Australia and South Africa and return to Europe in 2011, starting in March.
