The Kings of Leon was performing at the Verizon Amphitheatre in St. Louis Missouri Friday when the rock band had to stop playing because of an infestation of birds.

During the first two songs, bassist Jared Followhill had been hit several times, including in the face. He said, “We had 20 songs on the set list. By the end of the show, I would have been covered from head to toe.”

Drummer Nathan Followill apologized to their fans via Twitter, saying “So sorry St. Louis. We had to bail, pigeons s***ing in Jared’s mouth and it was too unsanitary to continue.”

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.” He added, “It’s not only disgusting, it’s a toxic health hazard. They really tried to hang in there. We want to apologise to our fans in St Louis and will come back as soon as we can.”
