Kings Of Leon 'bring the house down' in Dublin

Followills' show cut short after ceiling collapses

Kings Of Leon had to cut a live show at the Dublin RDS venue short last night (November 26), after the ceiling began to collapse.

Parts of the ceiling had begun to fall down during the band’s set, then during the encore large pieces of the ceiling began hanging precariously from the ceiling, above the band, prompting the venue staff to usher them off stage to avoid the risk of injury.

The band made an apology announcement about not playing a long encore.

“We literally brought the house down!” joked drummer Nathan Folowill after the show.

The ceiling has since been fixed and the band's gig tonight at the same venue is unaffected.
