WE DON'T COME FROM MANCHESTER

Liam and Noel Gallagher are worried they are on an underworld hit-list after a bust-up with a mob of Manchester gangsters.

The Oasis brothers had a bust-up with the hoodlums when they tried to take over security at one of the band’s hometown gigs.

A gang member even threatened to kidnap Liam.

Noel said: “These guys walked into our dressing room and said, ‘We’re such and such family from Manchester and we’re now your new bodyguards. We do everybody’s security here in Manchester.’

“I was like, ‘Well, we don’t live in Manchester. We live in London, so get f----d!’”

But Noel isn’t taking the threats lightly.

He added: “They’re serious people. They’ll shoot you in the face.

“When we played in Manchester, there were threats Liam would be kidnapped. He got a bit freaked out.”

Ed. ‘We live in London’ - the irony will be lost on them.
