Liam Gallagher has launched a scathing attack on U2, insisting he has never met anyone who likes them. Skip related content

The former Oasis frontman claims that Bono and co have to bribe people to attend their concerts and buy the band's records.

The singer, who is currently readying his first material since the demise of his old band last summer, ranted: "I have never seen a U2 fan, not ever.

"I have never seen anyone with a U2 shirt or been around someone's house that has a f**king U2 record," he claimed.

"I mean, where do their fans f**king come from? Where are they? I reckon they buy them," said Gallagher.

Elsewhere in the interview, he suggested the Irish rockers deploy "a big old shovel" to fill their concerts with fans.
