Kings of Leon to take six-month break

London: Rockers Kings of Leon are set to take a six-month hiatus following the completion of their upcoming Australian tour.

The band`s shows Down Under were originally scheduled for March but were postponed after drummer Nathan Followill underwent surgery on a shoulder injury, Daily Star reported.

They later scrapped their US tour after singer Caleb Followill experienced problems with his voice, but the group is heading back to Australia to kick off the rescheduled shows in Sydney.

"It`ll be good to take six months off and be normal, enjoy being married. Matt`s got a baby now. I`d say within six months we`ll be getting back in songwriting mode. We can`t stay gone too long or we`ll get bored and fat and die of heart attacks," Followill said.
