Troubled former child star Macaulay Culkin reportedly stormed off stage as he played his first Manchester gig with his new band, The Pizza Underground.

The Home Alone actor is said to have been pelted with plastic glasses as he performed with his Velvet Underground parody act at Zoo.

But the final straw came when a crowd member interrupted his kazoo solo, according to Twitter reports.

The 33-year-old returned to finish the set but the gig later ended abruptly as fans invaded the stage.

Several people were kicked out of the Grosvenor Street venue as a result.

Blogger Frankie Buttons tweeted: “Things that are cool: Macaulay Culkin. Things that are not cool: throwing glasses at Macaulay Culkin! Manchester, you disappoint me.”

The gig was as much a homage to fromage as it was to Lou Reed and his ground-breaking New York band, who were at the heart of pop artist Andy Warhol’s Factory scene in the 60s.

The band performed in front of a screen displaying pictures of cheese and pepperoni, and turned All Tomorrow’s Parties, I’m Waiting for the Man and Take a Walk on the Wild Side into All Pizza Parties, I’m Waiting for Delivery Man, and Take a Bite of the Wild Slice.

Alessandro Lima, who was in the crowd, said: “It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever watched. It was just bizarre.”

Another audience member, Gina Burney, said: “It was brilliant and kind of terrible too. They even had an Andy Warhol!”

The show on Friday was the fourth date of The Pizza Underground’s first UK tour. They went on to perform in Bristol on Saturday and are due to play Nottingham tonight as part of the inter-city Dot-to-Dot festival, which was headlined by indie-rockers Peace.

Culkin, who began acting aged four, shot to fame in Home Alone in 1990 and reprised his role as Kevin McCallister in the sequel two years later.

The My Girl and Richie Rich star is also famed for his friendship with Michael Jackson, having appeared in the video for the late pop icon’s hit single Black or White.

Two years ago he denied reports he was addicted to heroin after he was pictured looking painfully gaunt. The allegations followed his conviction for possessing cannabis and sedatives without a prescription in 2004.
