Kings of Leon singer Caleb Followill broke his foot while playing with his children He called the incident a "freak accident" The band canceled 10 upcoming shows in Europe while he recoversKings of Leon has been forced to cancel a run of summer European tour dates after lead singer Caleb Followill suffered a 'freak accident' while playing with his children. Followill, 43, announced in an Instagram video on Wednesday, May 28 that he recently broke his foot, and per doctor's orders, can't be on his feet or travel while he recovers. The 'Use Somebody' rockers were set to kick things off in Paris on June 10, and the run of 10 shows would have concluded on July 12 in Portugal. 'Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that those shows will have to be canceled due to a freak accident that happened the other day. Broke my foot pretty bad just playing with my kids,' he said in the video. 'It's pretty gnarly. I'll spare all the details but we're fortunate enough to have some great doctors here in Nashville that gave me emergency surgery. And I'm on the mend, but they've told me that I can't be on my feet or traveling or anything for the next eight weeks or so. And that's a big bummer, man. We were so excited.' The rocker is dad to son Winston, 6, and daughter Dixie, 12, with his wife, model Lily Aldridge. Followill, who shattered his heel, according to a statement, will spend the next eight weeks under the care of expert orthopedic specialists. The rocker said that he and his bandmates — including his brothers Nathan and Jared and cousin Matthew Followill — had been preparing for the tour 'for a long time,' and were looking forward to debuting new songs that they recently recorded. 'We had a lot of exciting things planned, and now we're just gonna have to pivot and find a new way to continue the work that we've started,' he said. 'I'm very excited when we do get to show you the stuff that we're doing, and in the meantime, we're gonna do whatever work we can while I have these limitations.' Followill later showed his leg in a cast, saying the situation was 'no fun.' 'I know this isn't the message that anyone wants to hear and it's certainly not the message that I want to be sending,' he said. 'But it's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna be good and hopefully we'll see y'all soon.' Kings of Leon rescheduled a June show in Paris for Sept. 3, and they currently have three shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey with Zach Bryan still scheduled for July 18-20, plus eight more dates in August and September. The band's latest album, Can We Please Have Fun, came out in May 2024. Read the original article on People

TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser's son, 3, tragically dies in freak accident
The three-year-old son of a hugely popular TikTok influencer has tragically died from a freak accident. Police confirmed on Sunday that Trigg Kiser, son of influencer Emilie Kiser, had died from his injuries after being pulled from a backyard swimming pool on Wednesday. Police arrived at the scene and began CPR before he was rushed to hospital. He was initially transported to Chandler Regional Hospital. Afterwards, he was flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital for further treatment. However, he tragically passed on Sunday morning. A statement release by police read: 'The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remain ongoing. This is still an open investigation. Out of respect for the family's privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed.' Kiser, who has amassed 3.1 million followers on TikTok and more than 1 million on Instagram, is known for her relatable videos on the day-to-day experiences of being a wife and mother. The couple welcomed Trigg in July, 2021 and Emilie regularly shared updates on her family's lives with her millions of followers. Her son Trigg has been a regular part of her content since he was a baby. Fans have watched him grow up through her videos, making him a familiar face to her followers. The couple welcomed son Teddy in March, which Emilie announced in a sweet post on Instagram. 'We love you so much and our hearts feel like they are going to burst,' she wrote at the time, sharing a series of photos from the hospital birth. 'I am so grateful for a smooth delivery, a healthy baby, and the best husband. Could not have done it without my rock @bradykiser. The love I have for my boys is infinite.' While police initially kept Trigg's identity from the public, rumours had begun to swirl on TikTok after Emilie failed to post any updates on her account for three days. 'Emily I hope you are okay. I feel sick!!,' one follower wrote in the comments section of a video featuring the mother with her late son. 'I hope to God it's just a bad rumour, I'm sick!' remarked another on the same video.
