More info I have found

Oasis have expressed an interest in taking part in a special awareness concert in London, it's been reported.

The event in Finsbury Park, scheduled to take place in September, is being organised to highlight the issue of knife crime in the capital.

According to BBC 6Music, Oasis, Lily Allen, Madness and Kelly Rowland have all been named by organisers – but none have yet to confirm their participation.

The concert, which would attract 39,000 people, has been backed by London's Mayor, Boris Johnson, and the Metropolitan Police.

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher recently called on politicians to take action against Britain's knife problem, saying he feared the reality of the problem, and the impact it could have on his own children.

"In my day, status was trying to be somebody, do you know what I mean, not trying to kill somebody?" he told the BBC.

In London alone, twenty teenagers have lost their lives in 2008 as a result of a knife attack.
