No word if the gig will go on as planned. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101221/ap_on_en_mu/eu_britain_people_kings_of_leonIm so glad noone was hurt here. I do wonder what happened though! Hello to my friends on here... its been a while, I hope your all well! Tif

It's been cancelled for tonight.
This from the O2 website:
Unfortunately, due to this morning’s fire on board one of the tour buses at The O2, tonight’s Kings of Leon concert will now be postponed. Whilst there is no damage to The O2 there is now insufficient time to rig the arena for tonight’s performance. We are sorry for the inconvenience and we will announce a new date shortly.
Gutted. I'm glad nobody was hurt though!
Ahh you just beat me to it Erin!

Sorry for everyone who was gonna go tonight. What a bummer. I've made it an announcement for now, so hopefully people who hadn't left yet, will see it. Nate's tweet.

That's definitely a promise he'll have to keep. I'm sure everyone will be willing to remind him, come June.

Went to Atlanta's local paper's website this morning and was shocked to see a big picture of Caleb on the front page. Sorry to hear the news, I know a lot of people were looking forward to this show. Glad everyone is okay, though.
edit: of course under the pic it says Caleb Followhill. Damn AJC.

Dear fire, I hate you. I've just arrived to the hotel and found out about this. Who wants my ticket? I'll probably be home when the posponed show happens. I don't understand, it's not the first time when a band's buses are set on fire. I didn't have time to read what happened, but FUCK.

O2 said that there is too much water in the venue now and it's semi-messed up. And a bunch of crew guys got all of their stuff burned, including passports. It makes sense to postpone it.
Better reason than pigeons pooping.

I heard about this on the radio this afternoon. They said that they postponed it because they didn't have enough time to put the stage together after the fire.
