30 Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto Mock Kings Of Leon Pigeon-Gate

August 4, 2010
30 Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto Mock Kings Of Leon Pigeon-Gate30 Second To Mars frontman Jared Leto has poked fun at Kings Of Leon's recent incident involving pigeon droppings.

The band walked off stage three songs into their set at a gig in St Louis last month after a pigeon pooped in bassist Jared Followill's mouth.

The group faced a backlast from fans, but insisted that the droppings prompted a “toxic health hazard”.

Speaking about the incident, Leto was quoted as telling Showbiz Spy: “It would take a 400-pound gorilla taking a dump on my head for me to stop the show.

“But I don’t judge. Crap is a very disgusting thing, regardless of the size.”

Meanwhile, Kings Of Leon have revealed the title and release date for their new album.

'Come Around Sundown' is due to be released in October.
