<p>Green Day invited a fan onstage to perform the guitar part of their final song, "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" and the fan strummed the chords to "Wonderwall" by Oasis instead</p>
<p>Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told the fan "nice try" for their attempt</p>
<p>Oasis' Liam Gallagher, meanwhile, said it was the best song performed that evening</p>
<p>Green Day said "good riddance" to an Oasis fan after a bait-and-switch on stage.</p>
<p>During the rock band's concert in Luxembourg at Luxexpo on Monday, June 30, a fan tried to perform an Oasis song while onstage with Billie Joel Armstrong for the final song of the evening, "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)."</p>
<p>However, according to fan videos shared on TikTok, once the concert attendee got on stage, they began strumming the opening notes to "Wonderwall" while Armstrong, 53, sang the opening lines to the iconic song.</p>
<p>Armstrong was shocked when realizing the fan wasn't playing the right song. He told the fan, "you told me you could play this one," referring to Green Day's 1997 song from Nimrod which closes out many of their performances.</p>
<p>The fan continued playing "Wonderwall," to which the musician shouted, "oh, f---!"</p>

<p>Oasis musician Liam Gallagher had seen the fan's show trick and commented on the clip via X, calling it the "best song of the night."</p>
<p>Fans joked about the incident on TikTok. "Today is gonna be the day that Billie takes the guitar away…" one fan teased, putting a spin on the lyrics to "Wonderwall." "Bro was given the chance and he took it," another said.</p>

<p>"Billie taking a bit to realise is pure gold," a third wrote of the frontman's delayed reaction. "This is the risk you take when you give someone an acoustic guitar... 8/10 times wonderwall will be played," another noted.</p>
<p>Days earlier, Armstrong appeared to shout at a fan during their performance at Germany's Hurricane Festival on Sunday, June 22. The fan was allegedly using a water gun to spray water at him when he paused the performance to crouch down and talk to the fan off-camera.</p>
<p>Green Day is continuing their international trek in Europe before performing throughout North and South America until late September, wrapping up in Highland, Calif.</p>
<p>Oasis, meanwhile, are days away from embarking on their reunion tour, kicking off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, July 4.</p>
<p>The band will perform throughout Europe until late August when they head to North America for a string of dates before heading back to Europe and eventually travel to Asia, Australia and South America.</p>

<p>Armstrong spoke to PEOPLE in 2024 and broke down how "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" came to be: "I had my first real girlfriend, and she went to Cal [University of California, Berkeley]. Me and Tré and a bunch of other guys lived at this house on Ashby Avenue, and she and her roommates lived above us."</p>
<p>He added: "I remember going to this party one night and listening to these college kids play these acoustic songs, and I was like, 'Oh wow, that's pretty cool,' " he recalled. "She was moving to Ecuador, and I was pretty heartbroken about it, so I wrote that song [from 1997's Nimrod] for her."</p>
<p>"It's a simple love song on a guitar, and it has ended up being played at graduations and bar mitzvahs; it's at funerals and weddings. It's wild what it turned into," Armstrong concluded.</p>
