ST. LOUIS — Musicians have performed through violent storms and scorching temperatures at an outdoor arena in suburban St. Louis.

But an infestation of pigeons that bombarded the Kings of Leon with droppings at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre managed to force an early end to the rock band's concert Friday night.

A statement from the band's management company, Vector Management, says bassist Jared Followill was hit several times, including near his mouth, and that the onslaught of feces was a potential health hazard.

The crowd grew restless after the band walked off, and an announcement told them that the show was over. Concert promoter Live Nation says fans will get a full refund.

Vector says band representatives had been warned of a pigeon infestation in the rafters.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

What woulda been cooler is if they woulda kept playing.

Now their just mediocre quitters.

I like Kings of Lean, but do you think, I dunno, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, or like The Rolling Stones woulda quit cuzza some bird shit?

No.

my mom and i once made the mistake of feeding the seagulls along the northern coast or oregon one fine day.

they began wheeling and circling overhead, it was actually really cool to watch them swoop down and snap the bread up in midair.

it was all good until the poo began to fall eek falloff we literally ran for cover .

ah~! good times! biggrin

Hate those fucking things - they're all over NYC. I got hit by one last week - if I could have, I would have strangled the fucker.

Rats with wings is all they are.
