Rocker Noel Gallagher says a housing estate war near where he lives means he has to leave London behind.

The former Oasis star revealed there have been two stabbings on his street recently - and he can't have his kids growing up with such violence on his doorstep.

He is so sick of the current situation in the capital that he thinks it's best for Anais, 19, Donovan, 11, and Sonny, eight, if they move elsewhere.

The 52-year-old has put his mansion up for sale - but accepts he may lose millions on the £7,950,000 property.

The singer and his family are set to move to the country and it appears he can't wait to get the keys to their new place.

Noel told the Irish Independent : “We’ve had two stabbings outside our house in the last while.

“We didn’t want the kids growing up in London.

“I live, as you can imagine, in quite an affluent area. At one end of the street is one housing estate and the other end is another housing estate. They are currently at war.

"One guy was tabbed in the middle of the f***king day and an air ambulance had to come and land in the middle of the street and all the streets were taped off.”

He added: "Donovan is 11 and is now coming to go to secondary school and we were just saying it would be too f**king stressful if he is on the Tube and he is coming home and he is being mugged for his phone.

"So we decided that we are going to go out to the country and put them to school in the country. We’ll just commute into London."

He and brother Liam don't exactly agree on too much these days.

But they certainly do see eye-to-eye on the subject of knife-crime if his recent comments are anything to go by.

"Every morning you wake up there’s some 16-year-old being knifed to death," angry Liam said on BBC Breakfast.

"I’ve got kids that age, out and about and that, doing their thing, living, being young. That freaks me right out – it does worry me.

"I’ve got teenagers. I’d have a word with that mayor – he seems to not be doing a good job with all these kids getting knifed.

Under pressure Sadiq Khan says he needs help to improve safety on the streets.

The London Major said: "I take on board fully what Liam Gallagher said about his concerns as a dad. Of course I understand those I share them. We need support from people like him to lobby the government

"If you’re a concerned teacher or faith leader or journalist and you agree with me that the cuts made by central government have gone too far. ‘We want the next prime minister to reverse those cuts.

"Work with me to lobby the government."
