Kings Of Leon get pooped on..cancel show
Posted 7/26/2010 10:32:00 AM

Kings of Leon cut their Friday night concert short at St. Louis' Verizon Amphitheater, after a flock of pigeons living in the venue's rafters relentlessly pooped on the band members.  According to Billboard, in an attempt to avoid disappointing fans, the band had decided to go on with the show even after openers The Postelles and The Stills returned from the stage covered in pigeon poop.  "We couldn't believe what The Postelles and The Stills looked like after their sets," said Jared Followill in a statement released by the band. "We didn't want to cancel the show, so we went for it. We tried to play. It was ridiculous." Kings of Leon made it through three songs before some of the poop landed near the bassist's mouth and the band decided the pigeon hazard had grown too extreme to finish the show.  Live Nation has already announced fans in attendance may get the price of their tickets refunded at the point of purchase beginning today.  <JC>
