NOEL Gallagher, the lead singer of Oasis, has played a cruel
prank on football star Wayne Rooney - vandalising a birthday
present for him.
The Oasis man was given a £2,000 ($6,000) tiger flame-coloured Les
Paul Classic guitar by Rooney's fiancee Coleen McLaughLin to sign
for the Manchester United striker.
However Noel - an avid supporter of bitter rivals Manchester City -
did much more than just sign the guitar.
According to The Sun, Noel
and bandmate Gem Archer, bought a tin of sky blue paint and
repainted the guitar. They then used white correction fluid to
write the chorus of Man City's anthem Blue Moon on it and other Man City
slogans.
The musicians also wrote, rather unkindly: "Happy Birthday
SpongeBob".
Rooney, who turned 22 last week, plans to put the guitar up for
auction and give the proceeds to charity.
