Former child star Macaulay Culkin and his band were pelted with glasses before storming off stage during their tour of the UK.

The Home Alone star’s novelty band The Pizza Underground, who perform cheesy versions of Velvet Underground songs, met angry responses from fans in the north of England.

A version of Lou Reed’s ‘It’s a Pizza Day’ was one of the tracks performed by the New York band before the gig was cut short.

According to the Manchester Evening News, audience members threw plastic glasses of beer at the troubled star before invading the stage on Friday night.

Culkin stormed off stage during his kazoo solo, but later returned.

The band met a similar reaction last night during their set at the Dot to Dot Festival, which took place at Rock City in Nottingham.

When fans began throwing booze Culkin responded: “Why are you throwing these? I’d rather drink them.”

The quintet were soon soaked in beer and called their performance to a halt.

Culkin, 33, first rose to fame when he stared in Home Alone aged four. The star has previously battled with drug addiction and was convicted in 2004 for possession of cannabis.
