Liam Gallagher has hit out at London Mayor Sadiq Khan over the capital’s knife crime epidemic.
The Oasis legend said he feared for the safety of sons Gene, 17, and Lennon, 19.
Liam, 46, said: “Every morning you wake up there’s some 16-year-old being knifed to death and that.
“I’ve got kids that age, out and about and that, doing their thing, living, being young. That freaks me right out – it does worry me. I’ve got teenagers.”
The star – who also has two daughters, Molly, 22, and Gemma, six – pointed the finger of blame at Mr Khan.
He said: “I’d have a word with that mayor – he seems to not be doing a good job, all them kids getting knifed and all that.
"The only thing that ever comes out of his mouth is, ‘London is open’. What, open for knife crime and dying and stuff?”
On BBC Breakfast today, Liam also says he does “not approve” of MPs doing drugs after Michael Gove and Rory Stewart admitted taking illegal substances.
Liam, who has said he has taken drugs, said: “Shame on them. If I did see a politician taking drugs, man, he’d get a clap around the head.”
Speaking about the state of the country, Liam said: “It’s a horrible time.
"The people that are meant to be in charge… it’s like they’re all doing ketamine. None of them know what’s going on.”
