Isaac Hanson of all-brother band Hanson, has had a pop at Kings of Leon over their decision to cancel their US tour earlier this month. KoL pulled out of the remaining dates citing lead singer Caleb Followill's "exhaustion". It followed Followill storming off stage at a Dallas gig.
But Isaac, eldest member of Hanson who had a hit with MMMbop, says that the Kings of Leon should think about how their behaviour is affecting their fans.
"I have a hard time with musicians who act like pr*cks because it just makes me mad," he told World Entertainment News Network.
"If you're actually making a living doing it [making music], pinch yourself every day, because it goes if you don't love it and people will eventually get p*ssed off.
"I'm going to call somebody out on it - the Kings of Leon are running some risks. They're irritating people and you can't do that too much. Eventually the bad boy image affects fans' willingness to show up.
"Their fans will get bummed out. Everybody has their demons, everyone has their challenges. I'm a bit of a hothead in certain circumstances, but you've got to temper it because your fans are there and they've paid good money to see a show, and you gotta bring it."
He compared Kings Of Leon's situation to that of Oasis, who split in 2009. "It made it hard for people to have a lot of fun at their shows - because they were worried that Noel [Gallagher] was going to get p*ssed off and walk off."
Followill's bandmates have apparently urged him to go to rehab, as reports have suggested that he suffers from alcoholism and severe anxiety
