Music's worst meltdowns: Green Day strop and more
After Billie Joe Armstrong's Las Vegas stage explosion, find out who else has lost it in front of fans
- Courtney Love, 2011, Brazil: Professional train wreck Courtney lost it with the audience at the Sao Paolo Music and Arts Festival gig when a fan held up a picture of her ex- husband, the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. "I don''''t need to see a picture of Kurt, and I''m going to have you f**king removed if you keep throwing that up," she shouted. "I''m not Kurt - I have to live with his sh*t, his ghost and his kid every day. Throwing that up is stupid and rude and I''ll beat the f**king shit out of you if you do it again."

A performance by Green Day ended in disaster on the weekend, when Billie Joe Armstrong launched into an x-rated rant and smashed his guitar at the band's iHeartRadio show in Las Vegas.
The drama erupted when Green Day were half way through playing their classic hit 'Basket Case' and a sign flashed up that the band had just one minute left to play before Usher was due on the stage.
It was later revealed that Armstrong was admitted to rehab, with an official statement saying: "Billie Joe is seeking treatment for substance abuse. We would like everyone to know that our set was not cut short by Clear Channel and to apologize to those we offended at the iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas."
Who else has exploded on stage? We take a look at some other legendry outbursts, some completely justified, some downright disgusting. Check out some of musics worst tantrums here...
