A statement posted on the Polish Facebook page of Live Nation, which is verified with a blue tick, read: ‘In the course of today's concert for an indication of the barn in Warsaw, one of the spectators standing close to the scene said extremely offensive and chauvinistic words at the artist.'

The abuse was allegedly in connection to the rocker's cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

In early October, he admitted his medical issues to Spanish newspaper El Mundo, explaining: 'They have scraped cancerous tissues four times already, but whatever. If I die, then I die. And if I don't, then I don't. Right now I feel good.

'I am aware that in some of my recent photos I look somewhat unhealthy, but that's what illness can do. I'm not going to worry about that, I'll rest when I'm dead.'
