Liam Gallagher is plagued by tinnitus, the hearing condition that torments his brother Noel.
The Beady Eye frontman has suffered from a constant ringing in his lugholes for years – down to fronting mega-loud Oasis gigs.
Noel visited doctors, who gave him a brain scan before the diagnosis. But Liam isn’t bothered about a check-up.
Speaking after an acoustic gig at London’s Rough Trade East store to launch Beady Eye’s new album BE, Liam revealed: “Without a doubt I have tinnitus. You’re not a proper rock ‘n’ roll star if you don’t.
“I learned to live with it a long time ago. I put up with it – I just talk really loudly over it.
“I’m proud of it. Anyone who doesn’t have ringing in their ears can f*** right off.”
Asked what he thought of Noel’s doctor visit, he sneered: “Each to his own I suppose. He’s got f*** all else to do, hasn’t he?”
BE is up against a record by the ear-shattering Black Sabbath this week, with both tipped for the top.
