British rockers step in for Kings Of Leon at festivals after 'freak accident'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video After frontman Caleb Followill announced Kings of Leon's European festival appearances for the next six weeks are all cancelled due to his 'freak accident', rockers Muse have dutifully stepped into a number of their empty slots. The Tennessee rockers were due to perform in the UK and Europe in June and July, until Caleb broke his foot 'pretty badly' while playing with his kids, and announced he was out of action for eight weeks. Blackweir Fields has now been cancelled after the Molly's Chambers hitmakers pulled out, while Lytham Festival have axed one day of the Lancashire festival in response to their band's gutting news. Over the Channel, Supermassive Black Hole hitmakers Muse are heroically stepping in for the rockers at two of their billed headline slots, at NOS Alive Festival near Lisbon, and Mad Cool Festival in Madrid, both taking place in July. Meanwhile, O Son do Camiño in north-east Spain have secured Kasabian for a Spain and Portugal 2025 exclusive appearance as a replacement. In August, Kings of Leon – made up of brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared Followhill and their cousin Matthew Followhill – are still billed to land on UK soil, first for Newcastle's Come Together Festival, then Victorious Festival in Portsmouth. Both festivals have confirmed they are still expecting the Taper Jean Girl hitmakers. Muse, who formed as teenagers from Devon in 1994, are luckily on a bit of a European tour themselves, as they are due to perform in Finland, France, Netherlands, Oslo, Stockholm, and Gdynia in Poland throughout June and early July. The band, made up of frontman Matt Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard, have sold over 20 million albums over nine releases. 'I broke my foot pretty bad just playing with my kids… It's pretty gnarly and I'll spare all the details. But we're fortunate enough to have some great doctors here in Nashville that gave me emergency surgery,' Caleb said in a video on social media announcing the news to fans. 'I'm on the mend, but they've told me that I can't be on my feet, travelling, or anything for the next eight weeks or so. That's a big bummer.' He continued, shaking his head: 'We were so excited. We've been preparing for this tour for a long time, we've been preparing for a lot of things.' The rocker – who is married to Victoria's Secret model Lily Aldridge – said the band had been in the studio recording new songs, and were looking forward to debuting a few in the coming months. 'We had a lot of exciting things planned and now we're going to have to pivot and find a new way to continue the work that we've started,' he said. 'I'm very excited for when we do get to show you the stuff we're doing, and in the meantime we're going to do whatever work we can while I have these limitations. 'Exciting stuff is coming, I know this isn't the message anyone wants to hear, and it's certainly not the message I want to be sending, but it's going to be alright. 'Everything is going to be good. Hopefully, we will see y'all soon.' The group issued a separate statement, offering further insight into the musician's injury. 'Kings of Leon are updating fans that Caleb Followill has recently sustained a serious injury, shattering his heel and requiring a significant emergency surgery, that will prevent him from travelling and performing,' it read. 'The anticipated recovery process is expected to take eight weeks, under strict guidance of expert orthopaedic specialists. 'The band regrets to report that they will need to cancel all upcoming UK and European festival headline shows in June and July of this year.' Got a story?

Marlboro County deputies arrest daughter of McColl mayor on assault charge
MARLBORO COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — The daughter of McColl Mayor Robert Outlaw was arrested on multiple charges including assault, the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office said Thursday. Kelly Outlaw was charged with third-degree assault and battery and unlawful communication. She was booked into the Marlboro County Detention Center, where she awaits a bond hearing. The incident stemmed from a dispute that started on a Facebook news post and escalated into a series of threatening messages sent through Facebook Messenger, totaling 40 messages, including audio messages regarding the 'McColl town government disputes,' according to the sheriff's office. Outlaw was apprehended at her residence, and while she was being apprehended, she allegedly threatened to harm the victim in front of the investigators arresting her. The town has seen its share of controversy in the past year, with former Mayor George Garner — who was being investigated by SLED — dying in a car crash less than a week after the town's entire police department resigned. Early last week, the town appeared to have a new police chief with the appointment of Billy Stubbs. However, days later, Stubbs backed out. Stubbs was on the town's police force from March 2011 until July 2020 and has worked for the Marlboro County Sheriff's Office since January 2021, according to employment records from the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy. * * * Caleb is a digital producer at News13.

Horry County Fire Rescue, Atlantic Beach police chief offer differing accounts of bike week fights that injured 12
ATLANTIC BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Horry County Fire Rescue initiated its mass casualty protocols during a series of fights during Sunday morning's Atlantic Beach bike week festivities in which 12 people were hurt, but the town's police chief still disputes claims of a mass casualty incident. 'There were no mass casualties at the Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival on Saturday evening as has been reported. There were a couple of fights that broke out, causing panic in the crowd and several people were injured trying to leave the area,' Chief Carlos Castillo Jr. said on Sunday. 'Adequate police and medical staff were on hand to aid as needed and transport individuals to the hospital.' Horry County Fire Rescue said it was dispatched for a reported disturbance with multiple injuries. 'Because of the increasing number of patients from the initial dispatch, HCFR engaged its mass casualty incident protocols, which includes bringing resources like the Multi-Patient Unit bus to the scene and alerting local hospitals of a possible influx of transports,' HCFR spokesperson Tony Casey said. 'These protocols may be enacted any time HCFR is handling five patients or more on a given incident. Additional to the two on-site ambulances, HCFR Command brought in seven ambulances from across Horry County to handle the patient load, along with other personnel.' 12 people in total were taken to the hospital, all with non-life-threatening injuries, according to HCFR. Six other people signed medical transport waivers. In a statement to News13 on Wednesday, Castillo reiterated that rumors of a mass casualty incident were 'inaccurate, though the situation did cause significant disruption.' 'The injuries sustained were primarily due to the panic — patrons ran to escape the fights, leading to trampling incidents,' Castillo said. 'Emergency medical services (EMS) provided aid, 12 people were transported to the hospital and six additional people signed medical transport waivers. Reports indicate that these injuries were not from a single event but rather from separate fights throughout the festival.' Castillo said the people involved in the altercations fled and could not be located, but that authorities are continuing to investigate. * * * Caleb is a digital producer at News13.

Emmerdale's Ruby hands herself in as body is unearthed - but a shock follows
The discovery of a body in the lake in Emmerdale causes huge trauma for many of the residents in upcoming episodes as it's not immediately clear who the corpse is. With the body having been in the water for months, it's not possible to identify who it might be. This leads Ruby (Beth Cordingly), Caleb (William Ash), Cain (Jeff Hordley) and Chas (Lucy Pargeter) to assume that it must be Anthony Fox (Nicholas Day), Ruby's father. Ruby killed Anthony at the culmination of a long chain of events in which he had several violent confrontations various people. After discovering that Anthony was an abusive pervert who raped Ruby when she was a teenager, Caleb had a showdown with him at gunpoint. After Anthony fled, Aaron (Danny Miller) discovered him and beat him up. When he was later found dead, Aaron assumed he'd killed him and John (Oliver Farnworth) got rid of the body to save Aaron being implicated in the crime. While John initially said he'd buried the body in the woods, this turned out not to be the case. John has refused to say what he really did with it, on the basis that the less other people know, the better. So when this body is found in the lake, the conspirators who have been keeping the secret about Anthony's death go into panic mode. Ruby decides that the only solution will be for her to hand herself in. Caleb is desperate for her not to do this and he starts making plans for them to flee the village. Cain suggests going to family members in Ireland, where for the price of a parkin Mystic Dingle is usually only too happy to harbour fugitives. Ruby, however, doesn't want to put Caleb in the position of being on the run for the rest of his life and decides the best thing is to hand herself in. She leaves her husband a note and heads to the police station. More Trending In an interview room she tells an officer about the horrific years of abuse she suffered.

Caleb Followill ‘on the mend' but unable to travel or perform for at least eight weeks after brutal injury
Caleb Followill is 'on the mend' but unable to travel or perform for at least eight weeks after a brutal injury. The Kings of Leon frontman, 43, shattered his heel in what he described as a 'freak accident' and revealed the news in a video posted to the band's official Instagram page, which also confirmed the cancellation of the band's upcoming UK and European shows as a result of him needing to recover. The Grammy-winning band had been scheduled to perform across the UK and Europe throughout June and July, including appearances in Cardiff, Lancashire and headline sets at major festivals in Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Belgium and Portugal. But those plans have been scrapped after Caleb required emergency surgery in Nashville following the injury, which occurred while he was playing with his children. Caleb told fans online: 'Hello to everyone out there, especially our European fans that are coming to see us this summer. 'Unfortunately I regret to inform you that those shows will have to be cancelled due to a freak accident that happened the other day. 'I broke my foot pretty bad just playing with my kids… it's pretty gnarly and I'll spare all the details. But we're fortunate enough to have some great doctors here in Nashville that gave me emergency surgery.' The singer – who has two children with 38-year-old model Lily Aldridge – was told by doctors to remain off his feet for around two months. 'I'm on the mend, but they've told me that I can't be on my feet, travelling, or anything for the next eight weeks or so. That's a big bummer,' he added. Caleb went on: 'We were so excited. We've been preparing for this tour for a long time, we've been preparing for a lot of things. 'We've been in the studio recording, we have a bunch of new songs, we were going to debut a few of them on this run. 'We had a lot of exciting things planned and now we're going to have to pivot and find a new way to continue the work that we've started.' Despite the setback, Caleb ended the message with optimism. He said: 'I'm very excited for when we do get to show you the stuff we're doing, and in the meantime we're going to do whatever work we can while I have these limitations. 'Exciting stuff is coming, I know this isn't the message anyone wants to hear, and it's certainly not the message I want to be sending, but it's going to be alright. Everything is going to be good. Hopefully, we will see y'all soon.' The video concluded with a shot of Caleb's foot in a cast. In a separate statement, his bandmates Nathan Followill, 45, Jared Followill, 38, and Matthew Followill, 40, confirmed the cancellation and detailed the injury. They said: 'Kings of Leon are updating fans that Caleb Followill has recently sustained a serious injury, shattering his heel and requiring a significant emergency surgery, that will prevent him from travelling and performing. 'The anticipated recovery process is expected to take eight weeks, under strict guidance of expert orthopaedic specialists. The band regrets to report that they will need to cancel all upcoming UK and European festival headline shows in June and July of this year.' Kings of Leon had been scheduled to headline Lytham Festival in Lancashire alongside Justin Timberlake and Alanis Morissette. Organisers have since confirmed the event will be shortened from five days to four due to the cancellation, stating it is too late to book a replacement act. They also wished Caleb a 'speedy recovery'.
