Marcus Mumford upset fans as he abruptly stopped his concert and launched into a foul-mouthed tirade this week – which was captured in a shock video.
The 38-year-old musician is currently on his first US tour with his band Mumford & Sons since former member Winston Marshall departed four years ago in a cloud of controversy after praising a US conservative journalist.
During their recent tour kick-off concert in Bend, Oregon, fans were stunned when he stopped the show and stormed off-stage after hurling expletives.
A TikTok video of the incident has surfaced where Marcus – who is married to multi-time Oscar nominated actress Carey Mulligan – appears to be focused on something in the crowd as he points something out in the audience.
He seemingly says ‘sorry, f*** them,’ before unstrapping his acoustic guitar and exiting stage left.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Marcus and has yet to hear back.

While it remains unclear why he left the concert abruptly, a few comments on the TikTok seemingly shed some light on the decision.
One user wrote: ‘People kept getting hurt! He tried to play this song 3x and ended up walking off stage so they could give medical. Never finished the song.’

Another said: ‘About 3 people passed out in a row. In the same song. So he stopped so they could get help.’
Back in October, Marcus led Mumford & Sons to perform at a Kamala Harris rally in Madison, Wisconsin days before she was defeated by current US President Donald Trump in the election.
At the time he tried to rally fans to vote for the Democratic candidate as he said: ‘I would encourage you to get with your mates, make a voting plan and go out and vote, because every vote will matter you.’
Marcus has previously stated that his political views are ‘somewhere between centrist and liberal,;
Mumford & Sons have not toured since the end of 2019 as they have played several festival gigs from 2023 to 2024.
This is also their first tour after guitarist Winston Marshall famously left the band four years ago after sharing his conservative political views.
The musician said he was a victim of ‘cancel culture’ as he was ousted from the band and hounded by fans for sending a tweet to conservative journalist Andy Ngo thanking him for his book, which was critical of Antifa.
Marshall, son of multi-millionaire hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall, told Ngo: ‘Congratulations . . . Finally had the time to read your important book. You’re a brave man.’
Left-wing social media users immediately piled on to the star, accused him of being a ‘fascist.’

Before he posed the question of granting asylum to British people convicted on free speech grounds to Leavitt in the White House, Marshall often spoke out about cancel culture within the entertainment industry.
In 2022, this included appearing at the Conservative Party Conference, where he slated artists for failing to support free speech, and said his departure from his band the year before would allow him to ‘speak freely about political issues.’
