Kings of Leon abruptly stopped their concert after only playing three songs on Friday because pigeons began raining down tokens of affection on the band. That’s a nice way of saying “shitting.”
Daily Mail explains:
Jared Followill (bassist) had been hit several times already when a particularly large splat landed on his face near his mouth.
That proved too much for the rockers, who fled the stage in St Louis, Missouri just three songs into their set.
Apparently the rafters of the Verizon Amphitheater were infested with pigeons, who didn’t exactly hesitate to express their opinion on the music being played.
Kings of Leon manager Andy Mendelsohn said: ‘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. It’s not only disgusting, it’s a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there.’
Pussies. Their opening acts, The Postelles and The Stills, were able to play through the chunky downpour. “We couldn’t believe what [they] looked like after their sets,” Followill told reporters. “We didn’t want to cancel the show, so we went for it. We tried to play. It was ridiculous.”
Either those pigeons had a lot to unload, or they were saving only the very finest pearls for KOL. Me thinks the latter because pigeons are known to be very patriotic and they obviously don’t like how KOL talk junk about “Americans having bad taste in music.”
Full refunds are being issued, but the band promises to make it back to St. Louis “as soon as we can.” TRANSLATION: BITCH, YOU CRAZY.
