American rock band Kings of Leon have asked their fans to forgive them after they abruptly ended a concert in Dallas, acknowledging the group is suffering from internal stresses.
"Kings of Leon regretfully announce the postponement of tonight's show in Houston," the band said in a statement on Friday.
Leader singer Caleb Followill quit the stage after just four songs, saying he was suffering from the oppressive heat.
The statement said: "Caleb Followill suffered from heat exhaustion and dehydration, during last night's Dallas performance causing his vocal chords to seize."
It added the show had been rescheduled for September 21 and the same tickets would be honored.
But other band members sent messages on the micro social network Twitter at the weekend acknowledging internal problems within the band.
"Dallas, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. There are internal sicknesses & problems that have needed to be addressed. No words," Caleb's brother Jared Followill tweeted on Saturday.
"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," he added later.
The third brother Nathan also sent a Tweet saying: "Not so good morning 4 me today. Ashamed & embarrassed by last nights fiasco. Can't apologize enough, utterly gutted. A million I'm sorry's."
Kings of Leon also pulled out of a concert scheduled for Saturday night and postponed it until September 22.
Founded in 1999, the band which has five albums behind it, including "Youth and Young Manhood" and "Only by the night," was due to resume its tour on Tuesday with a gig in Tampa, Florida.
