Kings of Leon Drummer Injured After Xfinity Concert

On Monday, he tweeted a picture of himself in the hospital with a caption: “Saw a tweet that said I had died. Not quite, but it feels close. Who knew that you use your ribs for EVERYTHING.”

The band’s next tour date is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 13 at Jones Beach Theater in New York.
