Kings of Leon Bassist Hit With Pigeon Excrement, Finish Show Early
St. Louis Kings of Leon fans were let down this past Friday evening when the band left the Verizon Amphitheater stage after only 3 songs. What caused this concert to abruptly end? Believe it or not... pigeon poop. A flock of pigeons living in the rafters of the Verizon Amphitheater bombarded the bands on stage with excrement. Opening for Kings of Leon, The Postelles and The Stills both finished their sets covered in pigeon excrement from the unruly birds above. Kings of Leon took the stage despite the openers experience. This did not turn out well when after only three songs Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followill was hit in the mouth by pigeon poop. The band left the stage and did not return. Concert attendees can receive a full refund from Live Nation due to the shortened show. more info19 Killed, 100+ injured Following Germany's "Love Parade" Festival Stampede
