Liam Gallagher's weird obsession with cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants has reached worrying new, er, depths.

The Oasis frontman has commissioned an artist to paint him a massive portrait of the cartoon sponge — in the style of Andy Warhol.

It will take pride of place in the swaggering star’s living room alongside images of rock icons Elvis and Jimi Hendrix.

That’s what I call a rock ’n’ roll hall of fame.

Liam has never hidden his affection for the animated star, he even went to the 2005 premiere of the SpongeBob movie in London.

But worryingly Liam has become so enchanted by the world of the underwater character that it appears to be harming his grip on reality.

Liam thinks he is just like the “mad for it” cartoon chap and can relate his entire universe to his own.

Liam animatedly explained: “SpongeBob is a f****** mental, full-of-beans, enthusiastic sponge that lives at the bottom of the sea in Bikini Bottom. He’s mad for it.

“He’s got a mate called Squidward, who plays the clarinet and is grumpy like our kid Noel. I’m having a huge painting done at the minute, a proper Andy Warhol-style portrait of SpongeBob.

“He’ll be facing Elvis and Hendrix in the living room.”

Right. And I thought Liam was mellowing into his new family life.

But that sounds like a man who hasn’t slept for three weeks.

Along with his long-standing love of the kids’ cartoon, Liam has also developed a fascination with fish.

He has taken to introducing himself as The Salmon King to bemused regulars at a pub near his home in Henley, Oxon.

told Q magazine: “I f****** love Henley. I go into my local and say, ‘I am The Salmon King, stand back’.”

Earth to Liam. Earth to Liam. Is there anybody there?

At least his outbursts prove the rocker can still shock with the best of them, even if he now lives in a world of sponges and fish.

He proved he can still pull off the snarl, good clobber and a decent trim as the Oasis Dig Out Your Soul tour hit Vancouver on Wednesday.

Luckily Liam lost his fishbowl haircut before the Manchester legends hit the road.

And he hasn’t started dressing as SpongeBob or a salmon when he takes to the stage — yet.
