Fans are taking to Twitter to express their frustrations after Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes has reportedly walked off stage during a concert.
According to Brooklyn Vegan, the musician left the stage without explaining after playing two songs at The Lawn at White Oak Music Hall in Houston, Texas.
Since no one was singing, the crowd sang a few karaoke songs before the venue ultimately canceled the show. Tickets were immediately refunded to concertgoers.
