The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess has gone viral over a tweet detailing an amusing phone call about his council tax.

Burgess recently shared the tweet with his fans, in which he relays a conversation that saw him forget his train of thought.

Explaining that he “forgot I was on a phone call about council tax”, he said the person on the other line asked: “What band are you in?”. He replied: “Erm, The Charlatans”, to which the other party then said: “Your council tax band.”

The resulting tweet has since clocked up over 278,400 views on X.
