After much thought, I've decided to no longer continue posting on CloserToKOL.  Over the last few months, it has been increasingly difficult to find adequate time to run the website and give it the attention to detail it deserves.

I have enjoyed the experience of creating and running CloserToKOL immensely over the last several years and have met many wonderful people during this time. The website would not have been as successful without the help and contributions of many fans over the years, especially those who allowed me to publish their photos, videos, experiences etc. Also, having Revolver Films allowing me exclusive access during the promotion of Talihina Sky was invaluable.

I am, of course, still a huge Kings of Leon fan - always will be. I think taking a step back will allow me to enjoy being a fan again without the added pressure of publishing all the information – so from a selfish point of view, I’m quite looking forward to that.

I will leave this site "live" for the foreseeable future, so please feel free to still visit to watch your favourite videos, look at the extensive photo galleries, listen to live music or even use it as a "KOL Encyclopaedia" for past tour dates etc.

I will also leave the CloserToKOL Facebook open to enable anyone who may have a news story, tour info, new photos/videos etc to post the links on the Facebook Wall. This way, it can be used as a "Bulletin Board" and will hopefully keep everyone up-to-date with what’s going on in the world of Kings of Leon!

There are still a few T-Shirts left in the Sale and once these have sold out, the T-Shirt Store will be removed from the website, so if you want one, order it now!

Once again, my heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has joined this website, followed me on Twitter and Tumblr or friended me on Facebook over the years and for your many contributions and lovely comments you have sent me that has made all the hard work worthwhile. Hopefully I will bump into some of you at future shows!

Finally, thanks to four talented musicians - Nathan, Caleb, Matthew & Jared for being, in my opinion, the best Rock Band of their generation. Can't wait to see them on the road this year and hear Album #6....

Love & Best Wishes
