Paris Olympics closing ceremony is plagued by technical issues as frustrated BBC viewers slam its 'awful' sound quality during live performance from Phoenix - before accusing the band of lip-syncing!


As Indie band Phoenix took to the stage, viewers started to call out the beep for their sound engineering as people became confused over why the performers were allowed to perform.

A final return of 14 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze saw Britain slip to seventh spot in the medal table – its lowest place since finishing 10th at Athens 2004 – and third-best European nation behind hosts France and the Netherlands. And these audio problems are not the first for this year's global competition as thousands of social media users threatened to boycott the nascent Paris Olympics after its opening ceremony was widely panned in July (pictured) The ceremony was also blighted by pouring rain with viewers complaining of poor audio, technical issues and watching thousands of athletes burying themselves under ponchos as they paraded down the river Seine on a series of boats.
