A current headline on CNN reads: “Birds force Kings of Leon from St. Louis stage.”

Yes, that is a headline on CNN and not the Onion. Southern rockers Kings of Leon abandoned their set after three songs at a St. Louis, Missouri show. Why? Because pigeons were pooping on them. Guess the boys aren’t so “McFearless” after all.

The band tells CNN, they had every intention of powering through their set, but the excrement proved too much to deliver a 20 song set. They do say they’ll make it up to their St. Louis fans in the future.

Alas, no comment from these villainous pigeons. Maybe the birds agreed that “Sex on Fire” is overplayed, too?
