Ananova:

Liam Gallagher has commissioned an artist to paint a portrait of Spongebob Squarepants!

Oasis frontman Liam plans to induct Spongebob into his own rock’n’roll hall of fame and place a picture of the cartoon character alongside images of Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix in his lounge.

He told Q: "SpongeBob is a f****** mental, full-of-beans, enthusiastic sponge that lives at the bottom of the sea in Bikini Bottom. He’s mad for it.


"He’s got a mate called Squidward, who plays the clarinet and is grumpy like our kid Noel."


And there are other fishy goings-on with the Mancunian singer.

Liam has also bemused regulars in his local pub in Henley with his new self-coined nickname.

He added: "I go into my local and say, 'I am The Salmon King, stand back.'"

Oasis’ new album, Dig Out Your Soul, is due for release on 6 October.
