Liam Gallagher needs a hip replacement but would rather roll with it in a wheelchair pushed by his wife.
The former Oasis frontman, 49, has arthritis due to a thyroid problem but fears the operation could go wrong.
He said he preferred the idea of other half Debbie wheeling him around like the characters Lou and Andy in BBC comedy Little Britain.
“My hips are f***ed... I’ve got arthritis bad,” he told Mojo. “I went to get it checked and my bones are mashed up.
“The lady was going, ‘you might need a hip replacement. It’s not as bad as you think, the recovery will be a couple of months’. You’re all right. I’d rather be in pain – which is ridiculous, obviously.
“But it’s also the stigma, saying you’ve had your hips replaced. What’s next?”
The dad of four added the “one in a million” chance he could die during the operation is too much.
He said: “I’m definitely on the downwards slide, though. I can’t sleep for the pain. So I’m on herbal sleeping tablets and they’ve saved my life.
“I can’t [have the hip replacement]. I’m not going to crisp it having my hip cracked, thank you. I’d rather be in a wheelchair, with [wife] Debbie pushing me around, like Little Britain.”
