Liam Gallagher's Flop Of The Chops

I can't decide which is more outrageous – Liam Gallagher’s monster sideburns or his fancy footwear.

The Oasis wildman was snapped heading out for a Valentine’s Day meal with wife Nicole Appleton at London celeb haunt The Ivy.

His mutton chops give Elvis Presley's a run for their money.

And Jimmy Savile would love those leopard-skin shoes.

Liam jetted home to be with his missus from Barcelona, where Oasis played a show on Friday.

Then he had to head off again to Lisbon to play the next gig in their Dig Out Your Soul Tour last night.

Liam must have been All Shook Up after all that dashing around.

He probably thinks he looks like The King with those burners – but I reckon he looks more like Amos Brearly from Emmerdale.

Are Oasis Going To Split?

Oasis are on the verge of splitting after gobby Liam Gallagher’s relationship with his brother Noel hit an all-time low.

The pair are putting on a united front for their fans during their current world tour.

But the Daily Star Sunday can reveal that off stage the Gallaghers are avoiding one another at all costs.

And fans fear the split could come as soon as they finish their world tour.

Guitarist Noel, 41, laid bare the breakdown by confessing as he jetted into Madrid on Thursday: “I haven’t spoken to my brother for two years.”

Last night a source close to the band, currently in France ahead of a two-month tour of the Far East, said: “Noel and Liam have always had a stormy relationship but things have never been this bad.

“They can’t stand being in the same room together, let alone speaking to each other.

“Noel has already talked about leaving Liam and going solo when the current tour ends but we’re worried things won’t get that far. They’ve been on the road since last August and the stress of being in each other’s pockets is definitely taking its toll.”

The source added: “Sometimes I wish they’d just have a good punch-up like in the old days.

“Watching two grown-up men talking to each other through their roadies when they have to communicate is pretty ridiculous.

“It’s a wonder they manage to perform so well when they’re on stage. This looks like the last tour.”

An insider at the Gallaghers’ hotel in Spain said: “Noel and Liam looked as if they were going out of their way to avoid each other.

“The only time I saw them together was when they checked in and they seemed more like arch-enemies than brothers from the look on their faces.

“They didn’t even get the lift up to their rooms together and they ordered their room service separately so they obviously ate apart. They were supposed to see some music journalists together but even that didn’t happen because Liam never showed.”

Noel broke Liam’s foot after a fight with a cricket bat during recording sessions for their second album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

The pair fought again in Barcelona in 2000 when Liam, 36, insulted his brother’s then wife Meg Mathews.

Noel declared he was quitting overseas touring but returned for an Oasis gig in Dublin later the same year and shook Liam’s hand at the end of the performance.

He recently declared all he cared about is whether Liam can still sing.

The split fears come as Oasis prepare for their first trip to China next month.

They are then due to play in Manchester, Sunderland, Cardiff and Edinburgh in June before gigs at Coventry and London in July.

Winners And Losers: Rock Star Brothers

There's always a black sheep in every family. It's inevitable, a law of nature. Have more than one kid, and someone will be left with a short deck.

For brothers, it's even worse. You're either the "cool" brother or the "other" brother. There's no way around it.

And if your brother is a rock star? Not pretty. The only thing worse is being the brother of a President (see Billy Carter, Roger Clinton, and President Obama's weed-smoking Kenyan half-brother).

Even when you're lucky enough to share a band, if you're the "other" brother, at best you'll be considered unobtrusive wallpaper (is anyone looking at Angus' older brother, Malcolm, during an AC/DC concert?), and at worst, everyone is waiting for your cool brother to ditch the band and make a solo record.

Sure, there are the odd lightning-strikes-twice exceptions. Noel and Liam Gallagher are equally obnoxious and equally ego-fuelled. It's hard to imagine the Everly Brothers as the Everly Brother, and the Kinks would be nothing without Ray and Dave Davies pissing each other off over the years.

But that's the extent of the rock brothers with equal talent billing. For everyone else, there just isn't enough musical mojo to go around. There are winners and losers. Here are some of the biggest winners and their less-fortunate siblings.

WINNER: PETE TOWNSHEND
The Who's songwriter, guitar god, and visionary is a rock legend. He's been given every conceivable award and had his songs live on TV crime shows, Broadway, and "Guitar Hero." Any self-respecting rock fan or budding rock star must kiss his guitar pick at some point.

LOSER: SIMON TOWNSHEND
Pete's younger brother released three solo albums that were met with less fanfare than say... a solo Pete Townshend album. In 2004 he formed the band Casbah Club with dudes from the Jam and Big Country. Oh, and there's his day job: playing second guitar on Who tours.

WINNER: MICK JAGGER
He's arguably one of the most influential rock singers and frontmen of the 20th century. He made chicken dancing look cool, and he dares you to tell him it's not OK to sing "Satisfaction" to his grave.

LOSER: CHRIS JAGGER
Chris has a group of his own called Chris Jagger's Atcha! Blues Band. In 2007 Chris' brother did join Atcha! for a cover of the Stones' "Dead Flowers" at a local pub. Apparently, it didn't help bookings. On his website, Chris says he "enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors, looking after animals, and creating a garden with 'anything you can eat.'" No tour dates listed.

WINNER: EDDIE VAN HALEN
Although one could debate about how much of a winner Eddie is these days, he's rightfully claimed his spot as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation — even if he does have bad luck with lead singers.

LOSER: ALEX VAN HALEN
When the Van Halen kids were growing up, Eddie played drums while Alex played guitar. Maybe he actually plays guitar better than Eddie. Rumor has it that Alex has become an ordained minister so he can preside over his brother's wedding. Hopefully, it will lead to a new career that doesn't involve a gong.

WINNER: KEVIN BACON
Personally, I like my Bacon on the screen more than on the concert stage. Still, there's no denying that the younger Bacon brother has rock star charisma. Plus, how can you NOT be cool when everyone in Hollywood is only six degrees of separation away from you?

LOSER: MICHAEL BACON
When you're the lesser-known half of a side project, things are not looking so good. Yes, Michael has a long and respected career scoring a boatload of PBS movies. So what? His brother is Kevin Bacon. He just can't compete.

WINNERS: LIAM & NOEL GALLAGHER
Oasis' lead singer and songwriter-guitarist are rock god brothers-in-arms, always ready for a pint, a brawl, and a grandiose statement more outrageous than the last. Love 'em or hate 'em, they are keeping rock's unruly heritage alive.

LOSER: PAUL GALLAGHER
And then there's Paul, the third Gallagher brother. "There's a third Gallagher brother? " you ask? Yes. "Is he the Scottish football player?" No. "COO of Forbes magazine?" Wrong guy. "A distant cousin to actor Peter Gallagher?" Nope. Noel and Liam's older brother is the author of "Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis" and a screenplay writer. 'Nuff said.

WINNER: THOM YORKE
As the angst-ridden frontman of Radiohead, Thom Yorke possesses a beautifully tortured voice and has pushed the boundaries of how pop music is made and sold. He's one of the singular artists who come around once every so often, inspiring legions of fans and budding musicians alike.

LOSER: ANDY YORKE
Thom's younger brother had a late '90s band called the Unbelievable Truth (named after the Hal Hartley cult film). They disbanded after three albums, and Andy released a solo record, "Simple," in 2008. Needless to say, he stands in a big shadow.

WINNER: MICHAEL JACKSON
I know, there are really no winners in the Jackson family — only freakish stories. Still, if you have to put one on top, it's gotta be the King of Pop. Despite Bubbles, the Elephant Man, questionable underage slumber parties, and going out one too many times in his pajamas, Jacko's musical legacy is undeniable.

LOSER: TITO JACKSON
Could you name Tito in a Jackson 5 photo? Hint: he's the guitar player. According to his website, he's soon announcing dates for his blues band and putting the finishing touches on a solo album. Wanna bet if it hits stores before Michael's comeback?

WINNER: PAUL McCARTNEY
He's Paul McCartney for chrissakes! A knighted Beatle. He wrote every song you know. There's no bigger winner in rock.

LOSER: MIKE McCARTNEY
Paul's younger brother did not want to capitalize on his famous surname while performing in the early '60s, so he invented the stage name "Mike McGear." After some moderate U.K. hits (including one with Wings as his backing band —ditch the family name but use the brother's band?), Mike turned full time to photography. Among his published works? Beatles pictures. Lots of Beatles pictures.

WINNER: SEAN LENNON
Although he hasn't had the chart success of his half-brother, John and Yoko's only kid has the artistic cred that can only come from a lifetime of hanging with New York hipsters and being... well... John and Yoko's only kid. He's the poster child for indie-music cool chic, hanging with Rufus Wainwright, Cibo Matto, and every other artist with a lower Manhattan zip code.

LOSER: JULIAN LENNON
Even though he gets points for having a Beatles song written for him ("Hey Jude") and having two Top 10 hits in the '80s, Julian stills comes up short in the sibling coolness department. Aside from his well-publicized battles with stepmom Yoko, his cover of the Fab Four's "When I'm Sixty-Four" number for an Allstate Insurance commercial didn't help his case.

Hola.

Great show last night. We were a bit rusty after a week off but the gig was mega. Possibly the loudest crowd yet.

Free Peace were outrageous. The kid who plays the electric guitar is far out, man. No plectrum!! I'm being a bit of a muso, but it was stunning.

Off to Barcelona today. Tuff Levi's coming over for a night out. Should be messy.

I'll be out of the game for the next 48 hours. See you on the other side.

"All we are saay-ing is give Free Peace a chance".

Wayne Rooney Gets His Own Back On Noel Gallagher

Red Devil Wayne Rooney got his ultimate Roo-venge on Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher – by sending him a signed photo of himself scoring.

The United ace was desperate to get his own back after the Oasis rocker sprayed Rooney’s birthday guitar sky blue.

So Wazza, 23, fired back by putting one past Noel’s beloved City in a derby. And he rubbed salt in the wound by sending the bushy-browed Manc a signed snap of his goal celebration.

The tit-for-tat war was sparked after Wayne’s wife Coleen, 22, asked Noel to sign a guitar for the striker’s birthday.

City nut Noel, 41, said: “A really nice vintage Les Paul guitar arrives at my office and I said: ‘Who’s this for?’ and one of the girls asks me if I know Coleen McLoughlin.

“I asked, in a colourful way, what exactly she wanted and I was handed a letter asking if I’d sign the guitar for Wayne Rooney.

“So I took it to a mate of mine for a few alterations. Coleen kept calling to ask if I’d signed it yet, so I told the girls to tell her it’d be another week.

“We stripped it down, varnished it in City blue and wrote the lyrics to Blue Moon all over it.”

But Noel added: “Not long after, he scored in the derby and sent me a picture of him and Rio Ferdinand celebrating with the message: ‘To Noel, love Spongebob. A great day’.”

No Oasis, Kings Of Leon For Isle Of Wight

Isle Of Wight Festival boss John Giddings has quashed rumours that Oasis and Kings Of Leon will play the festival.

Speaking to NME.com the organiser said that the event is still in negotiations with its headline artists.

When asked if Oasis or Kings Of Leon will be playing he said: "It's definitely neither of those. I can honestly tell you it's neither.

"We're negotiating with the headliners for the Saturday and Sunday. They're definitely guitar bands."

U2 and Arctic Monkeys are the most likely candidates to join Friday night headliners The Prodigy on the bill.

Giddings also revealed who might be appearing at the festival. He said: "I was thinking about booking The Zombies," he said, because they did 'Odessey And Oracle'. They're amazing, because they have musicianship. You don't have bands like that any more."

Other acts already confirmed includes Basement Jaxx, Pendulum and The Ting Tings.

Noel Gallagher: I Was Almost A Blue

Rocker Noel Gallagher nearly joined his beloved Manchester City as a player – but his dreams were wrecked by a women’s clothes chain.

One-time chairman Francis Lee wanted to register the Oasis guitarist as a squad member and have the band’s name on the front of their shirts.

But the deal fell through when the group found they do not own the rights to the word Oasis.

The rights are owned by the High Street store of the same name selling women’s clothing.

Noel, 41, said: “An idea was concocted that I would sign as a player.

“I told them: ‘I’m not going to be registered as a City player and not play.’

“As it transpired, we don’t own the rights to any garment with Oasis on because the women’s clothes chain copyrighted the name long before we were formed.”

During the 1990s under Lee, 64, City were always on the lookout for ways of raising cash.

Today they are the richest club on the planet, owned by oil multi-billionaire Sheikh Mansour, 38.
