"Get the fuck out of here!"

Troubled US singer Fiona Apple has had her another run-in with audiences at a gig, having berated fans at a Japanese show in August.

Unlike the Japanese incident though, where she pulled an 'Azealia Banks' and stormed off, this time she insisted that her annoying fan was the one to leave.

According to Stereogum's review of her Portland gig in the States last week, 90 minutes into a show described as "strange", an audience member screamed: “Fiona! Get healthy! We want to see you in 10 years!”

The reviewer claims Apple looked "furious" and "unleashed a torrent of vitriol" at the fan.

Apple responded, “I am healthy! Who the fuck do you think you are? I want you to get the fuck out of here. I want the house lights on so I watch you leave!”

The call for lights was met and the, no-longer anonymous, punter was shamed into making an exit. In what was possibly an attempt to make amends for his earlier comment, he shouted to the singer one last time: “I saw you 20 years ago and you were beautiful!”

At that point Apple announced the show was over but then "spat her frustration into the microphone, and fought back tears" for one last song.

After the show, fans took to Apple's Facebook page to post messages of support amidst further debate about the singer's current state of health.
