UPDATE: Aug. 3 at 6:37 p.m. ET:
Although Twitter believed that the “I love you Noel” sign in the crowd is what caused the singer to storm offstage, Liam just shared a tweet saying it was instead that his voice was “fucked”:
Sorry to the people who turned up for the gig in Chicago lollapalooza had a difficult gig last night which fucked my voice. I'm gutted LG x

Ah, Liam. The former Oasis singer—and British icon known for his unexpected (yet kind of expected) actions—just let down plenty of Lollapalooza fans after storming offstage after playing 20 minutes of his 60 minute set.
This tweet kind of sums it up:
liam gallagher just did the most liam gallagher thing ever and walked off stage 20 minutes into his set #lollapalooza

According to fan footage at the festival, Liam left midsong, and once his band finished the song, they walked offstage, too. See a video of what went down below. (And note that you'll hear plenty of fans booing.)

No one is certain about exactly why he left, but speculations say that the “I love you Noel” sign in the crowd is what upset the singer:
