Gallagher: 'I'll be voting for Tevez'

Noel Gallagher has claimed that he will be voting for Manchester City footballer Carlos Tevez at tomorrow's general election.

The ex-Oasis guitarist, who has previously always backed Labour, said that he wouldn't be supporting any of the major parties this year.

"Me and the missus were talking about it because we've got to vote this week," Gallagher told the FA website.

"She was going, 'Who are you voting for?' and I said, 'I'm not voting for anyone'. I'm just going to take my voting card and I'm going to put in massive letters 'Tevez is God' and throw it in the polling station. I'm voting Tevez."

Gallagher backed Tony Blair at the 1997 election and visited No.10 Downing Street after the Labour party took power. He also supported Labour in 2005, claiming that a vote for the Conservative party risked enticing Genesis star Phil Collins back to the UK.

"Vote Labour, if you don't and the Tories get in, [Collins] is threatening to come back from Switzerland, and none of us want that," he said.
