He tweeted “Dear Qantas, u suck, thanks 4 fucking up my trip 2 Oz. Joberg-Dubai-Sydney. 24 hours in the air. That’s how much I love Oz.

Then, “#YouKnowWhatIHateTheMost Qantas Airlines”.  And finally, “The silver lining is that we are throwing one hell of a halloween party on the plane. I’m going as the drunk guy in seat 5a.

These are the rescheduled shows for Kings Of Leon, after Nathan injured his arm and delayed their March tour.
