LIAM Gallagher has declared himself a fan of Justin Bieber - praising the singer for keeping his fans waiting at his O2 gigs.

Boyfriend singer Justin sparked anger when he arrived on stage at the Greenwich venue nearly two hours late, meaning some of his fans had to leave after just a few songs.

But Beady Eye frontman Liam told ShortList magazine: "Anyone who goes on two hours late is f****** right in my book, man.

"All these so-called rock bands that sit backstage going, 'Hey, let's wait 15 minutes'. F*** that, wait two hours and 15 minutes!"

The former Oasis star joked: "He's kicked the f****** a*** out of it - no-one will beat that, ever. So get off his f****** back, man. I am a Belieber."

Baby singer Justin also left German fans in tears when he turned up two hours late to a show in Dortmund.

He's defended his antics, which have included losing his temper with a photographer, saying: "I know who I am and I'm very much in control."
