Kings of Leon were originally scheduled to headline the Ohana Festival, but have canceled upcoming shows in order to be at home with their ill mother Betty-Ann.
“Our mother, who many of our fans know and love, has been dealing with a medical crisis for the last several weeks,” Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followill alongside their cousin, Matthew Followill wrote in a statement. “While it has been hard to take the stage each night, it has been the love and energy from you, our fans, that has gotten us through.”
The band added that they will “remain by her side until the time comes to say goodbye.”
