The popular and Grammy award-winning band Kings of Leon were forced to end a concert in St. Louis last night after playing just three songs because a pigeon pooped into bassist Jared Followill's mouth, the New York Post reports.
A spokesman for the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater told the crowd the show would not be able continue due to fears for the band's safety.
Drummer Nathan Followill apologized to fans on Twitter:
"So sorry St. Louis. We had to bail," he wrote, explaining that the show was stopped because a pigeon had defecated in Jared Followill's mouth. "Too unsanitary to continue," he added.
Concert goers have been a offered a full refund.

Cyndi Lauper finished her set when she had a bird poop in her mouth. Is Cyndi Lauper more hardcore than these kids? (yes)

Then again, I've never had something poop in me mouth, maybe I would quit too.

That said, I'm not sure why this forced them off stage for the evening. As others have stated: mouthwash?

2) Or Pigeongate is a cover story for whatever the real problem was.

As disgusting has this may have been to him I think it is hardly cause to stop the show. If I had paid to go to that concert I would have been seriously PO'd!

| | | | As a resident of St. Louis this is par for the course. They should have kept playing, but this is supposed to be a major venue. Everyone complains that no bands come here, and when they do they can't be bothered to keep the vermin out. They just tell the band before they go on to watch out for bird s**t. Next they'll complain to 106.5 that Maroon 5 won't set foot here. But yes, they could have gargled.
