Gallagher tells wounded soldiers to stop complaining

Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher of Oasis has told soldiers fighting in Iraq to stop complaining when they get wounded.

Gallagher also turned his guns on British Prime Minister Tony Blair, environmentalists, Elton John, his brother Liam and predicted his own daughter would become a "mental, axe-wielding, cyber-punk lunatic".

"Blair made an almighty cock-up going to war in Iraq," Gallagher told The Sun.

"The troops want to go, all they want to do is fight! They're soldiers. They're loving it, until they get shot - then they're claiming compensation. If you're bothered about getting shot - here's a thing - don't join the army."
