Saying we can't take this shit any longer, drummer Nathan Followill led the Kings of Leon Band off stage after pigeons had shit all over them during their first three numbers. The fans of the group were not pleased to say the least.
Shouts of REFUND! REFUND! echoed throughout for fifteen minutes until the crowds were told where to go for a refund.
They had been warned of a pigeon infestation up in the rafters of the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater and even saw opening bands The Stills and The Postelles, come off the stage "riddled" with excrement, but they decided to go on with the show anyway. However, the pigeon crap got so out of hand, they stated that they had no choice but to walk off the stage.
"We could have gotten a disease", stated Followill. "Maybe the other guys could put up with that kind of shit but I'm not coming down with any of those bird diseases. I think some got Jared in the mouth."
After leaving, another group got up and sang with the crowd cheering. This was a very active local band so it actually calmed the crowd down about the refund. Not only that, but the upbeat songs and movement scared most of the pigeons away.
"We got to see the bands and got our money back so who can complain?", stated one fan as they left.
Most thought that the Kings of Leon shouldn't have played two slow numbers of the three they sang.
"You stand around like statues, pigeons will shit on you every time."
