The police statement, titled: "TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY THAT THEY'RE GONNA THROW IT BACK TO YOU", said: "A guitarist had settled in front of 7/11 on the Bispensgade in Aalborg on the evening of Thursday 17 August.
"The guitarist played very badly and loudly. He certainly did not sound like Liam Gallagher.
