Drummer Nathan tweeted: "So sorry St Louis. We had to bail, pigeons s***ing in Jared's mouth and it was too unsanitary to continue. FULL REFUNDS 4 ALL. SO SORRY. Don't take it out on Jared, it's the f****** venue's fault. You may enjoy being s*** on but we don't. Sorry for all who (travelled) many miles."
