Kings of Leon are going to take six-months off following the completion of their Australian tour. The group's Aussie shows were originally scheduled for March but were postponed after drummer Nathan Followill had surgery on a shoulder injury. The band later cancelled their US tour after singer Caleb Followill had problems "with his voice", but they are heading back to Australia to kick off the rescheduled shows in Sydney on November 4th.

Nathan has since said that after their Australian dates are completed, they are going to take a break. He told News.com.au: "It will 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."

Caleb married Victoria's Secret model Lily Aldridge last year, while bandmate Matthew Followill became a father in May.
