Roger Waters told his audience to "f--- off" after a "dissatisfying moment" during his recent concert.

On Sunday, October 8, Waters returned to the stage at the London Palladium in his first show since June and performed some of his hit tracks and new songs from his newly released album, "The Dark Side of the Moon Redux."

The supposed enjoyable night left a sour taste on some after the musician told the crowd to "f--- off," garnering criticism.

Roger Waters' Fans Walk Out of His Show

Sources confirmed that Waters left everyone dissatisfied and even made people leave the venue while trying to launch the new version of his studio album. According to the Daily Mail, Waters spent almost an hour reading excerpts from his yet-to-be-published memoir, "Dark Side of the Moon: Memoirs of a Lanky Prick."

The 80-year-old "Wish You Were Here" crooner reportedly "wasted" time by sitting at a desk onstage and looking at his laptop to read stories, including about a duck named Donald.

Per Men's Journal, he told the audience to "f--- off" when they became frustrated with what was happening; some fans then left the show.

A Reddit thread received mixed reactions from fans as some explained that the "storytelling" was part of the show.

"So people got what they paid for, a performance of the Redux, and some bonus insight into the mind of the guy putting on the show as well as a few other songs, one of which being a new song performed in its entirety for the first time," one wrote. "Sounds like a good time to me, but to each their own."

"Is he going to do this more in every show because even though I love him that does kind of ruin it," one asked.

One user also revealed, "People that bought tickets without reading what the show was mad about what the show was! Just another day."

Waters previously found himself in hot water when Frankfurt officials attempted to prevent him from performing at Festhelle due to his antisemitism allegations. He also enraged the public when he allegedly sported a Nazi-style outfit during a concert in Berlin.

The singer reclaimed the chance afterward and explained his side in a social media post. The State Security Department at the Berlin State Criminal Police Office conducted a criminal investigation to determine whether he truly glorified and justified Nazi's actions.
