Billie exploded after his band’s set was allegedly cut short from 45 minutes to 25 minutes. ”You’re gonna give me one minute? I’ve been around since 198-f*cking-8,” the singer screamed after being notified while performing to wrap up.
“I’m not f*cking Justin Bieber, you motherf*ckers … You’ve gotta be f*cking joking. This is a f*cking joke. I got one minute — one minute left. Oh, now I got nothing left,” he screams before smashing his guitar and throwing the microphone.
