Everyone’s a critic…

From the Irish Times

“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 apologised 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. “Don’t take it out on Jared . . . Sorry for all who (travelled) many miles.”
