WATCH: Liam Gallagher go off on one after fish thrown at him as he plays Cigarettes & Alcohol at festival

“I can’t be fucking singing while there’s a fish there, man"

“Which dickhead threw the fish here then?”

Liam Gallagher was forced to momentarily pause his set during Benicassim festival this weekend after someone in the audience managed to launch a fish onstage.

Gallagher, maracas in hand, didn’t take too kindly to having some sea life interrupt his performance and immediately took to addressing the issue with the crowd.

“Which dickhead threw the fish here then?”  demanded Gallagher.

“Fucking stinky, smelly fish, man. Now listen man, it really ain’t that fucking bad, man. Don’t be throwing fish on stage, mate. I’ve seen a lot worse than this shit. Alright?”

“I can’t be fucking singing while there’s a fish there, man,” he said, before the roadie managed to clear the fish off the stage so the former Oasis frontman could continue the performance with Cigarettes & Alcohol.

It appears the fish was thrown onstage due to the poor sound quality during the set, rather than, say, being a weird political protest or the fish itself actually managing to jump about 400 feet up and out of the Mediterranean and onto Liam Gallagher’s shoes.

As it stands, there are no leads on the mysterious fish-launcher, but you wouldn’t exactly be surprised if a police description was released of a man who looks a bit like Liam, but with sunglasses and slightly longer sideburns.

Who also answers to the name ‘Noel’.

I’m just saying. That would be my number one suspect.
