Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame.

Gang of Youths frontman Dave Le'aupepe must be feeling it after his guitar was smashed and broken on a Delta Airlines flight.

He and the band are in the US for a tour which starts Monday, but the mangled Gretsch guitar puts a slight hitch in those plans.

Le'aupepe posted the photo of the mangled guitar on Instagram, which has had its neck snapped in two.

"@delta thanks for breaking my @officialgretsch guitar. really appreciate it," he wrote.

Judging by the comments Le'aupepe is pretty bummed about it, too.

"Shes dead baby," he wrote.

"Help me tashy (Tash Sultana) im sad."
