Liam Gallagher says he was left gutted to have to cut a gig short after falling ill mid-performance.
The rocker, 49, has taken to social media to address fans after he reportedly left the stage just 30 minutes into his set at Festival Bureaugard in France on Friday (July 8) night.
He has since apologised to festival goers after throwing down his maracas and tambourine before walking off while performing Oasis hit Stand By Me.

His show in Cognac scheduled for tonight (July 10) has been cancelled as a result.
Liam told his fan in a written statement: “Apologies to everyone who came out to Festival Bureaugard last night.
“I was so disappointed to have to cut the set short. I have been diagnosed today with laryngitis and am on Doctors orders to get some rest. Unfortunately that means I have to cancel my upcoming show in Cognac.

In June, he also returned to Knebworth to mark 25 years since Oasis first performed their iconic concert there in 1996.
Liam will be among the artists performing at a tribute concert for the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins at London’s Wembley Stadium in September.
