The band have pulled planned gigs in New Jersey and Pittsburgh this week, but are still scheduled to play the Budweiser Made In America festival in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Followill says via Twitter: "I'm so bummed to have to cancel more shows but I need to be fully recovered before I get back. So sorry to the fans and thanks for understanding."

In a statement, the band add: "After further evaluation, a doctor has ordered drummer Nathan Followill to remain on rest for one more week." More details - here.
