Liam Gallagher reacts after Green Day kicks fan off stage for playing Oasis song
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. Oasis star Liam Gallagher has responded after Green Day frontman kicked a young fan off stage after he played the British rockers' famous song Wonderwall. Green Day performed in Luxembourg on Monday as part of their Savior Tour, and, per tradition, brought a fan onstage to play the guitar as they closed the show with their 1997 song Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). Things turned sour after the concertgoer started strumming the chords to Oasis' 1995 track, Wonderwall. In a clip shared to Instagram, Armstrong, 53, is seen trying to teach the fan how to play his song, saying through laughter, 'Are you f**king kidding me?' before singing 'You told me you could play this one!' When the fan started playing Wonderwall instead, the frontman exclaimed, 'Oh, f**k me!' In a second video posted to TikTok, Armstrong is seen shaking his head as he takes away the guitar. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY The young attendee is then led off stage by security. 'Nice try. Nice try,' the band's founder said into the mic before he started playing the right chords to Good Riddance. Gallagher replied to a clip online, tweeting: 'Best song of the night.' Critics flocked to the comments section to weigh in on the mishap, with one social media user writing: 'Why do people keep taking once in a lifetime opportunities from real Green Day fans?' A second chimed in: 'The crappy thing about this is he not only ruined his chance to play with an amazing band, but someone else lost out too. Such a shame.' Other followers saw it through a more lighthearted lens. 'Idk I think it's kinda funny,' another person chimed in. 'It's like being able to claim you rickrolled Green Day live and onstage. I know Billie Joe thought it was funny.' Billy Joe put the guitar on the man. Photo: TikTok He initially thought the kid just didn't know the song.

Photo: TikTok Days before, Green Day played a set at Germany's Hurricane Festival, where Armstrong chastised a fan for squirting him with a water gun. The band was performing their 2004 tune, Jesus of Suburbia, when the singer stopped mid-song and gave the crowd the middle finger. Armstrong then went upstage to confront the culprits. 'I'll beat your a**!' the Grammy winner allegedly shouted before picking up his guitar and getting right back into the song. The most notorious Green Day incident happened in 1994 at Woodstock, when a mud fight broke out and fans stormed the stage. A security guard mistook the band's bassist, Mike Dirnt, for a wild fan, tackled him, and knocked out his front teeth. Despite the chaotic incidents, the group has continued to tour over the years. In May, Armstrong, Dirnt, 53, and drummer Tré Cool, 52, were also honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The trio celebrated with great food and even better friends. 'I had a lot of things that tasted like Slurpees,' Dirnt told The Post at the time, while Cool chimed in: 'Mariachi!' 'Yeah, a mariachi band,' Armstrong said. 'We went to El Compadre yesterday, those guys are friends of ours. It was pretty nice.' Green Day on The Saviours Tour at Marvel Stadium earlier this year. Picture: Jake Nowakowski Armstrong, Dirnt, and Cool couldn't be more thankful for their star. 'Hollywood's literally been a second home to us since we started making big records with Rob Cavallo,' Dirnt gushed. 'Outside of the work and glitz and glamour, I think everybody can tell that Hollywood has a big heart too. As soon as something happens people always step up. You can see it with the fires, you can see it with a lot of different things. It's nice to get our hat tipped like that.' Oasis, meanwhile, is reuniting for the first time in 16 years, after the band dramatically split up due to a feud between brothers and bandmates, Liam and Noel Gallagher. Their last studio album Dig Out Your Soul was released in 2008, a year before the split. In 2009, Liam, 52, contracted laryngitis, causing Oasis to cancel a gig at V Festival. Days later, after Liam recovered from laryngitis, the band was supposed to perform at the Paris' Rock en Seine festival but never came on stage. British Liam (R) and Noel Gallagher on stage in 2005. Photo by Jose Jordan / AFP Two hours later, Noel, 58, released a statement on the band's website. 'It is with some sadness and great relief … I quit Oasis tonight,' he wrote. 'People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.' Liam and the rest of Oasis continued under their new name, Beady Eye, and released two studio albums before splitting in 2014. Years later, in 2011, Noel said that the gig that got cancelled due to Liam's laryngitis was actually cancelled because Liam had a hangover. Liam ended up suing Noel, and demanded an apology. The musician stated at the time: 'The truth is I had laryngitis, which Noel was made fully aware of that morning, diagnosed by a doctor.' Noel complied and issued an apology in which Liam dropped the lawsuit. In August 2024, Oasis teased their reunion on Instagram, writing, 'The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.' The Oasis Live '25 tour will kick off Friday and Saturday at Cardiff Principality Stadium in Wales. The band is slated for a 41-date run.
