Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has said his thoughts are with the victims of the floods in Australia.

The country has been battered by flooding in recent weeks, with up to 20,000 homes at threat in the third-largest city of Brisbane.

In a message on Twitter, Followill, who is due to tour Australia with Kings Of Leon in March, said: “My thoughts and prayers go out 2 all the flood victims in Australia. Help if you can.”

The flash flooding in Queensland has left 12 dead, with reports of a bull shark being spotted in the streets of Brisbane.

Kings Of Leon's Australian dates are due to kick off in Brisbane on March 6.
