    Kings of Leon put on shitty concert

    The Kings Of Leon were forced to abandon a concert in St. Louis on Friday night after they became targets for pooping pigeons.

    The "Sex on Fire" group attempted to play on as the birds let the bandmates know what they though of their music, but when bassist Jared Followill was hit in the face three songs into the set, the act left the stage at the Verizon Amphitheater.

    A spokesman for the band's management says, "It was disgusting and it's a toxic health hazard. They (band) really tried to hang in there."

    [...]

    Followill tells CNN, "I was hit by pigeons on each of the first three songs. We had 20 songs on the set list. By the end of the show, I would have been covered from head to toe.

    "The last thing I was going to do was look up... We must have caught them right after a big Thanksgiving dinner."

    The band has since apologized to fans, insisting they plan to reschedule the show.

    Followill, who describes himself as a "germophobe," said there was already poop on his pedal and carpet when he walked out on stage.
    The aerial attack began during the opening song -- "Closer" -- when he was bombed in the face. His bass tech wiped most of it off with a sanitary wipe, he said.
    Excrement struck each of his arms over the next two numbers, he said.

    Opening bands The Postelles and The Stills came offstage complaining of getting riddled with large amounts of excrement, their publicist said.
    "The Kings of Leon decided to carry on regardless," they said in a statement released Saturday. "The band felt it would be unfair to the fans to cancel the show at that late moment."
    "We couldn't believe what The Postelles and The Stills looked like after their sets," Followill said. "We didn't want to cancel the show, so we went for it. We tried to play. It was ridiculous."

    [...]

    Concertgoers were apparently spared the aerial bombardment.
    "No fans got pooped on as far as we know," the band's publicist said.
