Liam Gallagher doesn’t care who he offends – and neither do his fans.

The former Oasis frontman was hailed a “national treasure” while some asked if he was "on the stella" after he served up a mock apology for calling Freddie Mercury a “goofy c***”.

He tweeted: “So I wake up to news that I hit another and I mean another all time low after my vile and I mean vile outburst outburst did somebody say outburst about Fred mercy I'm sooooooo sorry if I upset anybody it's a good job there's 24 hours in a day as you'll get over it LG x.”

He added: “Last thing I don’t know why people get offended by the word c*** I get called a good looking c*** everyday don’t hear me crying as you were LGx.”

Fans asked if he had been “on the Stella” to which he agreed, before shutting down another who asked if he felt hungover: “Nah don’t get hangovers with gin n berocas.”

He was encouraged to “never change” by fans who praised his outspoken ways.

One tweeted: “Just being truthful, shouldn't apologise for that.... Freddie is a legend in another lifetime... You're here NOW... And we'd like more of you if possible.”

Another wrote: “I sometimes wish I was more like you, instead of being a sensitive snowflake.”

Gallagher’s apology was a response to comments he made about the late Queen frontman. Replying to a tweet comparing his song writing to Mercury, he posted: “F*** him the goofy c***.”

The Wall of Glass singer played Isle of Wight Festival over the weekend. It was reported that he pulled out of headlining the Sunday night as he didn't want to miss England's second group match against Panama.
