"The band left the stage at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on Friday after bass player Jared Followill was hit in the face by one dropping.
"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," the Nashville band's publicist, Any Mendelsohn, said in a statement.
"It's not only disgusting - it's a toxic hazard. They really tried to hang in there."
Drummer Nathan Followill apologized on Twitter to fans of the Grammy-winning band which is made up of three Followill brothers and their cousin Matthew who plays lead guitar.
"So sorry St Louis. We had to bail, pigeons s***ing in Jared's mouth and it was too unsanitary to continue," he wrote."

Maybe the pigeons were vomiting instead?
Great band. I guess this was a really major s***storm. Apparently the opening act was soaked!
Folks; You gotta learn sometime:
Sometimes you eat poop to make a living... And just hope that the poop never eats you.
What is a “Kings of Leon?”
They had the Lilith Fair thing on Tuesday. Can’t blame the pigeons if it looked like a good place to take a dump.
“What is a Kings of Leon?”
They’re a “rock band”.
opps, thought they were talking about the verizon Center in IN.
>>Theyre a rock band.<<
Rock began dying in 1972 and held on by a thread through the 1980s. By 1990 it was dead as a doornail.
So, since they can’t be a “rock band” what is it?
*doh* — I left off the ;) ... :)

"Rock N Roll's been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died."
Chicken$#!t rockers!
Pigeon fecal matter goes a long way toward explaining the singing style of their lead singer.
“*doh* I left off the ;) ... :)”
I figured you did, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a shot :-)
LOL They are wimps. Even one of the Today show hosts got pooped on a few years back right in the mouth on air and kept on going after choking a little. I mean he could’ve moved on stage wiped it off and kept playing.
>>I figured you did, but I couldnt resist the opportunity to take a shot :-)<<
And well-played :)
Pigeon misread the sign...Wings of Peon.
