The Who's Roger Daltrey has said that he thinks Liam Gallagher is a 'sweetheart'.

The singer said that the Beady Eye frontman is a talented man and 'funny guy' in a recent interview.

"I love him. Everybody says, 'Oh he's a bit difficult isn't he?' I've always found him an absolute sweetheart," Daltery told Absolute Radio

He added: "Listen, after Keith Moon everybody's easy. After Keith Moon and Pete Townshend everything's easy let me tell you. Liam's a very talented guy, very funny guy, very witty guy and much cleverer than people give him credit for. Yeah, I love it Liam is a real rock star. He is 100 per cent the real deal."
