LUXEMBOURG, EUROPE: Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong cut short a fan’s big moment during their Luxembourg concert on Monday, June 30.

As part of their Savior Tour tradition, the band had invited a concertgoer onstage to close the night with "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".

But the moment quickly went off track when the fan started playing Oasis' 1995 hit "Wonderwall" instead of the Green Day classic.
