Noel Gallagher: England is a f**king sh**hole

Oasis star says he's only here for the music

Noel Gallagher speaks his mind

Noel Gallagher says there's not much he likes about England.

And the Oasis star, 41, reckons the country's completely overrated.

‘On tour I miss my girlfriend and my little boy and my daughter,’ he says.

‘I miss watching the football, I miss getting a decent cup of tea. That’s about it, other than that I don’t miss anything.'

The mouthy musician went off on a rant during an interview for a Dutch and Belgian TV show.

‘You know England is not that f**king great, as anybody’ll tell you. To live in England is a f**king shithole, to be honest. Well, look at it, f**king dump!

'People have this romantic image of England, you know. London is a f**king dump. It’s full of crime, it’s full of f**king tourists.

'It’s traffic, it’s pollution. I don’t even know why I live here to be honest. I live here because the music industry is here.’
