10 Times Rock Musicians Stopped Their Own Shows
2. Kings Of Leon’s Literal Poop Storm
Taking the conversation in a completely different direction, it's time to talk about the time Southern rock band Kings of Leon were forced to cancel a show thanks to the strangest acts of God you will ever see.
The band, best known for hits like Use Somebody and Sex on Fire, were playing a gig in St. Louis in 2010 where, unbeknownst to them, several pigeons had made their home in the roof of the venue. And they clearly weren't Kings of Leon fans.
As soon as the group began to play, the birds started defecating on them, striking the performers several times before they couldn't stand anymore. They called it quits after just three songs, after one pigeon apparently took a dump directly into bassist Jared Followill’s mouth.
That is unbelievably nasty.
Drummer Nathan Followill issued an amazingly blunt apology on Twitter, saying "So sorry St. Louis. We had to bail, pigeons sh**ting in Jared’s mouth." He would later blame the venue for their unsanitary conditions and asked fans not to take their frustrations out on Jared.
The poor bloke had already suffered enough.
