Liam Gallagher Denies Final Oasis Bust-Up Was About Noel's Girlfriend

Liam Gallagher has rubbished claims he provoked the confrontation that led to the end of Oasis by making comments about his brother Noel's girlfriend.

The Britpop legends split in August 2009 when guitarist and main songwriter Noel walked out following a backstage altercation with Liam at the Paris en Seine festival.

Liam and Noel were involved in a series of bust-ups throughout Oasis's time in the spotlight, so there was no shortage of rumours about what had caused a disagreement serious enough for the band to split up.

One report suggested Liam had started the argument by making insinuations about Noel's partner Sara MacDonald.

The singer told Q the story wasn't true and that the argument had been about 'some f***in' stupid little t***'.

He revealed Noel had begun the now infamous bout of guitar smashing by destroying one Liam had received as a gift from his wife.

'Regardless of that, I thought f*** it. He's been a t** for the last six months on this tour, blowing hot and cold,' said Liam.

'So I thought, "f*** this s***, you're getting one of your guitars". And that was it.'

Liam's new group Beady Eye, which features his ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, are set to release their debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding, next month.

He has been busy talking it up, but had some words of encouragement for Noel, even though the brothers are not thought to be on speaking terms.

'I hope our kid's buzzin'. I f***in' do, actually. I hope he's gonna make great records. And he probably will,' said Liam.

Liam Gallagher Feels Like Transvestite

Liam Gallagher says being in a new band is like telling people he’s now a transvestite and ordering them to call him by a new name.

The British musician made his name in rock band Oasis, which also featured his brother Noel Gallagher. The siblings have a famously turbulent relationship, with both frequently threatening to leave the group following arguments. In 2009, Noel finally walked out on the band claiming he could no longer deal with his brother.

Oasis disbanded, and Liam formed his new band Beady Eye. The name hasn’t gone down that well with critics, but Liam insists people will get used to it in time.

“I don’t give a f**k mate,” he replied, when told Beady Eye sounds like a folk band from 1972 by Q magazine. “It’s psychedelic. People know me as Oasis so it will be weird for a bit. It’s like a transvestite, like me walking into a room and going, ‘Right, that’s it, I’m called Lisa now.’ But people will be calling their kids Beady Eye by the end of the year. You’ve got to keep a beady eye on all sorts, haven’t you? It puts us next to The Beatles, as well, in the rack. Instead of the f**kin’ Osmonds.”

Liam is currently promoting Beady Eye’s debut Different Gear, Still Speeding. He is proud of the record, and had a great time making it as the group were so relaxed in the studio. The singer explained he didn’t feel under as much pressure as he had previously.

He refused to confirm or deny whether his song The Morning Son – which includes the lyric “You’re blinded by what you idolise” – is about Noel, only saying it’s a song which means a great deal to him.

“These songs were done in four, five takes. I remember doing 20 takes on that last album [2008’s Dig Out Your Soul]. I was in there singing all day long, it’s f**kin’ boring,” he explained.

“Most of the songs [on Different Gear, Still Speeding] are about no one and everyone. But The Morning Son could be the only one attached to Noel. Sometimes you can be held back by something that you f**kin’ worship too much.”

Fan 'Snorts Liam Gallagher's Dandruff'

Liam Gallagher has claimed that a fan once snorted some of his dandruff after mistaking it for cocaine.

The Beady Eye frontman told Q that the incident occurred after he had performed with his former band Oasis at the Glastonbury festival.

Gallagher said: "I've got bad skin. I've got psoriasis all over my f**king body. Everywhere except for me face. And every now and again on me head.

"Everyone's backstage and this geezer comes up to me off his t*ts, going 'I ain't seen Oasis for f**king years, f**king great' and I'm going 'yeah, alright'.

"And he goes to his mate, 'Look Steve, he's even got cocaine in his hair'. And he pulls a bit of s**t out me hair."

Gallagher claimed that the fan then snorted the dandruff.

Liam Gallagher: Me And Noel Will Be Pals Again

After months of snide digs, Liam Gallagher finally has a kind word to say about brother Noel.

The Beady Eye frontman says one day they will patch things up - and thinks Noel's solo stuff will be good.

Liam said: "Listen, me and him will be sweet, man.

"Our little venture's come to an end but I'll never have a bad word about Oasis, it was f*****' amazing.

"It's why I'm adored by millions. But it's over and we're buzzin'. And I hope our kid's buzzin'. I f*****' do actually. I hope he's gonna make great records. And he probably will."

However, Liam's brotherly love was short-lived. The singer put the boot in by dishing the dirt about old Oasis riders. He also told Q Magazine - out on January 25 - "It was Noel-y Gallagher who had a little ensemble of f*****' flowers every week and his little chocolates.

"Like I give a f*** about flowers being in my dressing room.

"We've had to scrape off half the s*** on our rider, going 'Oil of Ulay?!' "

Coleen Nolan Thrilled By Noel Gallagher's Recognition

Coleen Nolan has admitted that she was "thrilled" to be recognised by Noel Gallagher.

The Loose Women panellist revealed that the Oasis star had once approached her to say that his mother was a fan of the lunchtime show.

"This man came up to me and said, 'My mum loves you'," Nolan told What's On TV. "I looked up and it was Noel Gallagher! No matter that it’s his mum who likes me, he knew who I was and who Loose Women were."

She added: "I was so thrilled."

Noel Gallagher Gives Away Disc To Help Special School

Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher has donated a signed platinum disc to raise money for a special school.

Guitarist Noel handed over the disc, which he received for sales of hit single Roll With It, to be auctioned for a charity which supports Lancasterian School in West Didsbury.

The school provides specialist education for 96 children with a range of physical difficulties and complex medical needs.

It recently won a battle to remain on its current site after securing council-funded renovations, but there is a shortfall for much needed equipment.

The disc, signed on the back by Burnage-born Noel, together with a signed letter of provenance, will be auctioned in a sale of rock and pop memorabilia this weekend.

The single, from the band’s second album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in 1995, and is expected to sell for more than £3,000.

The platinum disc, presented for sales of more than 200,000 copies, is the star lot in the Omega Auctions sale, to be held at Dunham Massey Village Hall, near Altrincham.

Auctioneer Paul Fairweather said: "It’s safe to say this disc is one of a kind and a must for any Oasis fan."

He will donate his sellers’ commission to the charity, Friends of Lancasterian School, which aims to build a new hydrotherapy unit.

Parent and fundraiser Samantha Hough said: "We were staggered when Noel donated his platinum disc for us to sell. He is a friend of the partner of one of the nursery staff and as soon as he heard we were fundraising, he sent the disc straight away. We are thrilled with his generosity."

"Children benefit so much from hydrotherapy but the present pool is in desperate need of being replaced.

"We need £120,000 to reach our target," she added.

The Omega auction features rare rock, pop and entertainment memorabilia including several Beatles autographs and Cavern cards, rare records, film posters and James Bond material.

Viewing is tomorrow from noon to 8pm and on the morning of the sale from 9am. The sale starts at 11am and will also be live for online bidding in real time at www.the-saleroom.com.

Liam Gallagher On Songwriting And More

Liam was asked by Mojo Magazine "How's it been writing songs?" for Beady Eye.

The singer said "They've all been writing songs for years. I'm still new to it so I don't have a formula yet. I don't go for walks in the park, or fucking read Oscar Wilde or shit like that. I just get a f**king guitar and give it a f**king kick around the room. Write a couple of words down and see where it goes. And if it gets me sweating and that, I bring it to the guys and if they get involved, all the better."

Speaking on the bands name Liam said "It's just a change isn't it? I don't know man, it's just, "keep an eye out on the f**king f**k-wits" isn't it? We came up with a few other ones, but I'm not telling you what they were."

He said "Ah man, that's f**king rocking. It was the first song we did actaully. Our DJ Phil Smith used to play it before we came on at some of our gigs. So we rehearsed that one one, then we did 'We Love You' by the Stones, but we thought, F**k it, this one is more obscure. I saw them at the Ritz in Manchester. They were a top band. They were Pulp before pulp were pop.
