A High Wycombe pub and strip joint which holds special significance to the Kings of Leon is set to close next week - and it's unknown if the US rockers are aware of its fate.
The White Horse, on West Wycombe Road, has been described as where the US band was 'born' after the group performed their first ever UK gig there back in 2003.
Drummer Nathan Followill previously described wanting to return to the pub and play there "one last time".
But the band will have just ten days to do so as it is shutting its doors for good on December 30 after a final "blowout" of drinking and partying.
The pub/strip club was the subject of a recent failed planning application to bulldoze the 1800s building and build flats on the site.

Speaking to the BBC in 2016 about his love of the High Wycombe pub, Mr Followill said: “I’ve always wanted to go back and play there one last time.”
He said: “It was absolutely insane. We weren’t allowed in our dressing room because the girls were finishing their dances.
“We’re high-fiving each other because we’re all young and we’re playing at the same place as strippers.”
The Local Democracy Reporting Service has contacted Kings of Leon for comment.
The White Horse will host a Christmas party from 1pm to 2am on December 22 before its final day of business on December 30.
