No Liam Paul Weller & Liam Gallagher Duet Due To Fire

Modfather Paul Weller says he feared for his life during his appearance at Benicassim on Friday night, which was marred by a fire and high winds.

The former Jam legend had to delay his set by half-an-hour while firefighters battled to control a nearby bush fire that was spreading rapidly towards the festival site due to the blustery conditions.

He was then forced to call an abrupt end to his gig after just 50 minutes as the freaky high winds battered the main stage.

Terrified ... Paul Weller

He said: "I was f******* scared. I came on stage to big black clouds and could see the huge inferno to the left. It was spreading so quickly!

"About 50 minutes in the organiser came and forced me off stage as the huge inferno was spreading so quickly and the winds were swirling!"

Despite feeling scared, Paul admits the dangerous weather conditions got his adrenaline pumping.

He said: "I thought the set was one of the best I've done. Although I was scared, I was gutted to come off stage. The crowd were great."

Fans will also be disappointed to hear the abrupt end to Paul's set put paid to a surprise duet with his Oasis pal Liam Gallagher.

A source said: "Paul and Liam had spoken about doing a duet during the day and Liam was watching Paul's set from the side of the stage ready to come on at the end. Unfortunately it wasn't to be."

An official spokesperson for the event said organisers had no option but to pull Paul's set.

He said: "What can you do when you get an act of God like that? It was in the interest of everyone's safety."
