Pooping pigeons forced the Kings of Leon to abandon their St. Louis, Missouri, concert after just three songs Friday night, the rock band's management said Saturday.

An infestation of the birds in the rafters of the Verizon Amphitheatre bombarded the musicians as soon as they took the stage, according to Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management.

"Jared (Followill) was hit several times during the first two songs," Mendelsohn said of the band's bassist.

"It's not only disgusting -- it's a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there," Mendelsohn added.

Funny, but as I'm also a musician I can relate to that. Playing outdoors (I hate it) can have many negatives for the band.

I'm sure they have willingly dealt with dirtier things from life on the road as rock stars. :zip:

Yeah. They're all related and have names like Nathan and Caleb. You'ld have thought they'd be hardened rockers. What about the bottles of urine that seem to have become a token of appreciation at rock festivals. They must have had to deal with those:D
