Kings of Leon bird attack halts show

Kings Of Leon

The world famous Kings Of Leon have made a less than gracious exit from a recent show in St Louis, Missouri after an infestation of pigeons in the rafters bombarded the band members with excrement. The group left the stage for good three songs in to their set.

“It’s not only disgusting – it’s a toxic hazard“, Said publicist Andy Mendelsohn in a recently issued statement on the matter, “Jared 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. ”

Drummer Nathan Followill tweeted, ”So sorry St Louis. We had to bail, pigeons s***ing in Jared’s mouth and it was too unsanitary to continue… SO SORRY. Don’t take it out on Jared, it’s the f****** venue’s fault. You may enjoy being s*** on but we don’t. Sorry for all who (travelled) many miles.”

Full refunds were given to those who attended the gig at the Verizon Amphitheatre, but we’re sure many a fan will be disappointed to have missed the band. The boys have promised to return to St Louis, but we expect they won’t be returning to the same pigeon infested venue next time!
