Calvin Harris said his neighbors’ pets are to blame for the death of his rooster, Smokey.
The Scottish DJ and producer announced on Tuesday (Aug. 12) via his Instagram Stories that Smokey had died and posted a picture that he had taken with the domestic chicken.
“RIP Smokey we love you,” Harris wrote. “Raised this lad from a chick to a majestic cockerel.”
The musician added that the animal was “murdered by the idiot neighbours grimey dogs.”
“Absolutely gutted,” Harris concluded.
Smokey appears to have been born last year, as an Instagram post from August shows a group of baby chicks eating a watermelon.
“What keeps your newborn baby chicks hydrated?” Harris asked his Instagram followers.
