Kings of Leon were forced to cancel their show mid way at the St Louis Verizon Amphitheatreon Friday (July 23) due to a pigeon infestation.
The band began their set at the venue when they began to get hit by pigeon droppings.
Several of the droppings hit bassist Jared Followill, one of them even hitting his mouth.
“So sorry St Louis. We had to bail, pigeons shitting in Jared‘s mouth and it was too unsanitary to continue,” Tweeted drummer Nathan Followill after the show.
Kings of Leon weren’t the only victims of the pigeons, support bands The Postellesand The Stills were also hit by several droppings.
According to the band’s management the band didn’t want to abandon the show but the situation became “a toxic health hazard” and they were forced to stop their set.
“Jared [Followill] was hit several times during the first two songs. On the third song, when he was hit in the cheek and some of it landed near his mouth, they couldn’t deal any longer. It’s not only disgusting it’s a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there,” said management spokesman Andy Mendelsohn.
The band have not announced plans to reschedule the St. Louis show.
