LIAM GALLAGHER has declared war on COLDPLAY’s CHRIS MARTIN, labelling him a “nobhead student”.
The outspoken OASIS frontman blasted Chris for his anti-war views and labelled his girlfriend GWYNETH PALTROW a “gawky bird”. Liam stunned guests in the backstage bar after he performed at a gig to raise cash for the Teenage Cancer Trust on Wednesday night. The outburst will surprise Chris. Oasis and Coldplay are often at each others’ gigs and each talks the other band up in interviews. But in his rant Liam said: “When Coldplay did this gig they banged on about the war, that’s wrong. “Chris Martin shouldn’t be using this cause to bang on about his own f***in’ views on the war. “If him and his gawky bird want to go banging on about the war they can do it at their own gigs.
“That lot are just a bunch of nobhead students — Chris Martin looks like a f***in’ geography teacher. What’s all that f***in’ s*** with writing messages about Free Trade on his hand when he’s playing. If he wants to write things down I’ll give him a f***in’ pen and a pad of paper. Bunch of students.
“These gigs are about kids who have got cancer, they’ve got to fight a war every day of their lives. That’s what we’re all here doing this for.” Coldplay opened the week of charity gigs on Monday with a 90-minute set. During Everything’s Not Lost he urged the crowd: “Don’t be afraid to sing along, sing to end this war.” He also changed the lyrics of A Rush Of Blood To The Head to “I’m going to buy a gun and start a meaningless war.” Chris also wound Liam up by playing a section of Songbird, which Liam wrote for fiancée NICOLE APPLETON. Chris said: “It’s the best song ever written.”
But Liam fumed: “That p***ed me right off. He’s got my song involved in the war.” Other acts playing at London’s Royal Albert Hall through the week include ERIC CLAPTON, SUPERGRASS, DOVES and MADNESS. |
