Champagne Super-Over: Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher is left furious as his Melbourne concert is abruptly cut short mid-song due to a ‘noise curfew’

Liam’s Melbourne gig marked the third concert in his 2019 Australian tour circuit, following the release of his new solo album, Why Me, Why Not? 

The rock star was clearly disappointed when the venue’s PA system was switched off promptly at 11pm during the classic song.

Fans singing along in the crowd were left in the dark during the last act – figuratively and literally.

‘Who ever made that rule needs to stop smoking SPICE,’ he added in a public Tweet.
