Noel Gallagher says he fears his teenage sons are not able to enjoy life like he and brother Liam did because the world is “too woke”.
The 55-year-old former Oasis star has two sons Donovan, 16, and Sonny, 13, with wife Sara MacDonald, 51, who he says he broke up with due to a mid-life crisis.
In a rant against “woke” Britain, he said his boys were unable to be as carefree as he and Liam, now 50, were growing up.
He said: “We were wild. We didn’t give a f***.
“They’re not as carefree. They’re shackled by the internet and wokeism and by living in a country where f*** all works.”

“They don’t really know how to behave with all this woke s**t that’s now foisted upon everybody.

“Angry, white middle-aged women telling young guys how to behave and all this b******s. I look at my sons and I have to put them in a headlock sometimes and say, ‘Don’t worry about these people, just be who you are’.”
Noel and Sara confirmed in January they are to divorce after 22 years together.
He said: “It’s not uncommon for people in long-term relationships to go their separate ways in their 50s. I know a lot of people in the same boat as me and Sara.
“The midlife crisis thing is true for men and women.”
