... on their bass player.

Rock band Kings of Leon were forced to pull the plug half way through a concert after their bass player was pooped on by pigeons.

Jared Followill had been hit several times already when a particularly large splat landed on his face near his mouth.

That proved too much for the rockers, who fled the stage in St Louis, Missouri just three songs into their set.

Apparently the rafters of the Verizon Amphitheater were infested with pigeons, who didn't exactly hesitate to express their opinion on the music being played.

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

The band had already been warned about the pigeon situation but were determined that the show must go on, even after opening bands The Postelles and The Stills were covered in pigeon excrement as they came off stage.

Followill says, 'We couldn't believe what The Postelles and The Stills looked like after their sets. We didn't want to cancel the show, so we went for it. We tried to play. It was ridiculous.'

In a statement, the band stated: 'The Kings of Leon decided to carry on regardless. The band felt it would be unfair to the fans to cancel the show at that late moment.'

Disappointed concertgoers were assured that the band would return to St Louis. Fortunately none of them were attacked by the flocks of pigeons.

'No fans got pooped on as far as we know,' the band's publicist said.

And Mendolsohn added: 'We want to apologise to our fans in St Louis and will come back as soon as we can.'

The Kings of Leon are set to perform tonight at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois... pigeons permitting.
