Liam Gallagher has sent “love and light” to two members of The Kairos after they were reportedly the victims of a stabbing in Liverpool this weekend.
Merseyside Police have confirmed that a stabbing took place on Church Street in central Liverpool in the early hours of yesterday morning (March 1).
Two 19-year-old men were injured in the incident, with one of the victims currently in a serious but stable condition in hospital. The other victim, who suffered a minor knife wound to the face, has since been discharged from hospital.
Gallagher was among the social media users to voice their support for The Kairos, highlighting Tom and Lewis — thought to be frontman Tom Dempsey and guitarist Lewis Chambers — in his tweet in which he sent “love [and] light” to the victims of the stabbing.
