We've heard of many reasons that force performers to cut short a concert but bird poo has never been one of them until now.

The Grammy-winning rock band Kings Of Leon were forced to abandon their concert midway at St Louis's Verizon Amphitheater after the band were pelted by pigeon droppings.

For the sake of their fans the band decided to continue performing in spite of pigeon droppings. The flock of pigeons living in the venue's rafters didn't give up so easily.

They kept pelting the poor boys with poo bombs. After performing three songs the band made the hard decision of cancelling the show.

The band comprising of brothers Caleb Followill, Nathan Followill, Jared Followill and their cousin Matthew Followill released this statement after the performance,"We didn't want to cancel the show, so we went for it. We tried to play. It was ridiculous."

Jared saw the funny side of it all when he said this of the pigeons," The last thing I was going to do was look up...but if that was only a couple, we must have caught them right after a big Thanksgiving dinner."
