Charlie Sheen was pelted with missiles and suffered a barrage of booing during an appearance at music festival Gathering of the Juggalos on Saturday.
 
The wildman actor took to the main stage to host the event in Illinois but his appearance was met with fury by music fans, who were quick to show their displeasure by launching plastic bottles at the bemused former Two and a Half Men star.

Remarking that he "should have worn my f**king goggles," Sheen eventually left the stage to make way for the next musical act on the bill of the four-day rap and wrestling event.

Speaking ahead of Sheen's appearance, Violent J - a member of Insane Clown Posse, who organized the annual festival - said, "Even when you're Charlie Sheen status, somebody that's seen it all, you've still never seen anything like the Gathering. There's nothing like it. I think Juggalos won't be respected until 20 years after they're done."

"Everybody will look back on it and say, that was great. That was history."
