Video: Liam Gallagher Says Things Still Need Sorting Out With Noel

Last week Liam Gallagher announced he was to sue his older brother Noel over what he claims were "lies" about the reasons Oasis split in 2009.

The Beady Eye singer talks about plans for a new album, how the "rug was pulled out" from Oasis and the fact that things with his brother still need sorting out.

The band talked to Newsbeat's music reporter Greg Cochrane.



Liam Gallagher says he is sad about suing his brother Noel over his claims he was too hung over to perform at the V Festival in 2009 but he had no choice:

" Listen, that had to happen, I don't take lightly to be called a fraud."

" I feel sad but I feel a lot sadder that there are people walking around thinking that I wouldn't get out of bed cos I had a few beers" he told 6 Music.

Noel has since apologised for saying Liam wasn't ill and the legal case has been dropped:

"I've called the dogs off a little bit but there still a few things that need to be cleared up, I didn't like doing it and it hurts a lot of people around it but it had to be done" the Beady Eye singer explained.

As for Beady Eye, they have just announced a number of UK tour dates in November.

Liam says they will take Christmas off and dive straight into the next record:

"February or the end of January we will be in (the studio) doing our album.

"We've got enough material for another record and that is what we shall do, whether people like it or not."

Beady Eye haven't included any Oasis songs in their sets so far because they want to establish the band in it's own right but that doesn't mean they won't in the future:

"Maybe down the line, in the third album we might throw some in there just for the crack."

As for his brother Noel's solo album, which consists of a lot of old material written when Oasis were still together, what does Liam make of it?

"I have sung on half of them, it was a lot better when I was singing on them but I am sure people will like the soft approach."

Liam Gallagher Threatens Kanye West Over Taylor Swift MTV VMAs Stage Invasion

Liam Gallagher has revealed that he is not a fan of Kanye West.

The Beady Eye singer said he was “not having” the rapper after he famously invaded the stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) in 2009.

“If I ever win any more f*cking awards I'd personally invite him to get up and f*cking take my award of me. I f*cking tell you that,” Gallagher told MTV's 120 Minutes programme.

“That was rude when he did that to that girl, that Taylor Swift. So yeah, give me an award and see where it goes. It will roll out of his f*cking arse.”

As previously reported on Giwise, West apologised over his outburst, which saw him claim that Beyonce should have won the prize instead of Swift.

At this year's VMAs, which took place last weekend, a fan invaded the stage during West and Jay-Z's performance of 'Otis'.

Liam Gallagher Says Oasis Feud With Noel 'Isn't Over'

Liam Gallagher has confirmed that his dispute with his brother Noel over the circumstances surrounding the break up of Oasis has yet to be resolved.

Last week Liam announced he was to sue his older brother over what he claims were "lies" about the reasons the band split in 2009.

In a statement the singer said he had "been left with no choice but legal action" and demanded an apology.

Noel has since said in a web chat that the feud was "silly".

But now, speaking to Newsbeat, Liam Gallagher said: "It's not over yet. There are a few things which need to be sorted out.

"I didn't want this to happen. It's not nice suing your family but like I said, he was telling porkies for the sake of his mates and journalists to get a wise crack on me.

"I ain't having that. I ain't a fraud and this band ain't a fraud.

"If he listens to his lawyers and does the right thing then it'll be well and truly over. I never wanted it to happen but it has to happen."

Future plans

Liam Gallagher was speaking ahead of headlining the NME/Radio 1 stage at this weekend's Reading and Leeds festivals.

"I want to go and do the Beady Eye thing," he said. "I'm sure he wants to do his thing but these things don't get solved overnight. He'll stand his ground and I'll stand mine."

The singer, who formed Beady Eye after Noel Gallagher left Oasis in summer 2009, said that the fan base of his new outfit was growing.

"People are coming around to us slowly but surely," he said.

"You can see the people who've heard the record and you can see the people who've heard it on the radio, obviously not that much, or on the TV."

The band also confirmed details of their future plans.

They will spend the rest of 2011 touring in places including Japan, Europe and South America.

In the new year they'll record their second album and say they hope to have it released by summer 2012.

"We were thinking of the second album before we were thinking about the first one," said Liam Gallagher. "That's the way we do it around our way.

"The first album was making sure we got back out there, back in the ring.

"The rug was pulled from under us as far as I'm concerned.

"We put everything into that album but without a doubt the second album will be better.

"The way I see it is you hit 'em with two great albums then get out of peoples' faces as much as for yourself and the public.

"Have a bit of a break, come back with the third album and then the fourth. Two albums out, two albums out. In an ideal world that would be great."

Liam Gallagher Says Law Suit Against Brother Noel Is Not Over Yet

Liam Gallagher has reiterated his threat to sue his brother Noel over remarks the guitarist made about Oasis' 2009 split.

A report in The Sun last week (August 24) suggested that the legal wrangle was now done and dusted, with a 'source' claiming that the upset caused to siblings' mum Peggy led Liam to have a "moment of realisation".

However, speaking about the lawsuit to BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Liam declared: "It's not over yet."

He continued:

There are a few things which need to be sorted out. I didn't want this to happen. It's not nice suing your family but like I said, he was telling porkies for the sake of his mates and journalists to get a wise crack on me.

Liam added:

If he listens to his lawyers and does the right thing then it'll be well and truly over. I never wanted it to happen but it has to happen.


The singer announced plans to sue Noel ten days ago over his "lies" about the reasons Oasis cancelled a planned headline slot at V Festival's Chelmsford site in 2009.

During a press conference to launch his new solo project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds the guitarist claimed Liam had a hangover, while the frontman has always maintained laryngitis was the reason why he pulled out of the show.

Noel subsequently apologised for his part in the spat during an online webchat with fans last week, which you can view by scrolling down and clicking below. He admitted that Liam had a doctor's note to prove his laryngitis claims, but added that the feud was getting "very silly and a little bit out of hand".

Meanwhile, Beady Eye made their debut at the Reading And Leeds Festivals over the weekend (26 and 27). Liam couldn't resist having a pop at Noel during the band's slot on the Berkshire leg of the event, quipping that his brother was playing a "fucking acoustic guitar" elsewhere on the site.

Noel Gallagher High Flying Birds Are Flying High In Amazon's Pre-Order Chart

Relations were already strained but we have a feeling Noel Gallagher won’t be able to resist bragging to his little brother Liam that his new album is flying up the Amazon pre-order charts.

The former-Oasis man’s latest musical offering: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds has received three times as many pre-orders as Liam’s album Different Gear, Still Speeding with his new band Beady Eye.

The feud has been dragging on since 2009 when Noel, 44, left Oasis declaring he could no longer work with Liam, 38. Liam responded by saying: “It takes more than blood to be my brother.” But given Noel’s new success it seems it has all worked out for the best.

Noel admitted recently that his infamous concert walk-out might have been a mistake. “I made a snap decision. If I had my time again I’d have gone back and done the gig.” We wonder how he feels now?

Liam Gallagher Won't Reform Oasis For Haters

Liam Gallagher is adamant he will never reform Oasis because his new band Beady Eye is the ''best thing'' he's ever done.

Liam Gallagher won't reform Oasis for people who hate him.

The singer insists he has no intention of getting the group back together following his brother Noel's departure in August 2009 for music fans who he thinks don't like him.

Liam would rather continue with his new band Beady Eye - who he formed with the other members of Oasis, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, in the aftermath of the split.

He told Q magazine: "There are some nights when you think this is s**t. But then you had those days in Oasis. Some people are taking time to catch on. The Scottish got it, Ireland was a bit slow. People say about getting Oasis back together, but why should I sing those songs to the 70 per cent of people who think I'm a ****? To me, this is the best thing I've ever done."

Although Liam isn't prepared to get back together with Noel he did this week drop his legal action against him.

The 38-year-old rocker had served papers against his 44-year-old sibling accusing him of releasing false statements about the end of the band, including a comment Liam didn't play the second night of their headlining slot at the V Festival in Chelmsford, England, in August 2009 because he was ill from drinking.

The 'Bring The Light' singer withdrew his legal action after guitarist Noel admitted his brother did have laryngitis before the scheduled concert.

Noel said: "For the record, it is a fact that he was diagnosed with laryngitis and it is a fact that he had a doctor's note to prove it. I'd just like to say that if he gets offended by my opinions on such things then I apologise. It's all getting a little silly and out of hand and it's not very cool."

Liam Gallagher Blames Adele For Missing No1 Spot

Liam Gallagher blames Adele for Beady Eye's album failing to make No1.

A lot of artists will be using that excuse this year.

Speaking after the group's set at Reading on Friday, Liam said: "I was expecting it to go to No1 but it was released in the year of Adele. "Never mind, No3 will do. We were all happy with it."

Liam didn't mention that they also charted back in March behind Jessie J's debut album.

But the singer did add that his group will have another crack at making it to the top spot – though not this year as he'd claimed recently.

Liam said: "Some songs are written for the next one. But no, it's not gonna be released this year.

"I might have had too much coffee that day and got carried away."

Now Liam's on a health kick, at least it's only coffee that gets him carried away.

On This Day In Oasis History...

The following statement by Noel Gallagher, was posted on the Official Oasis Site on August 28th 2009.

"It's with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.

"Apologies to all the people who bought tickets for the shows in Paris, Konstanz and Milan."

Oasis were due to play the Rock en Seine festival in Paris but cancelled at the last minute. When the support band said Oasis would not be performing, many fans thought it was a joke, but then screens at either side of the stage showed this message: "As a result of an altercation within the band, the Oasis gig has been cancelled."

Fans Champion Beady Eye At Leeds Festival Debut

Liam returns to the three-day bash for the first time in 11 years

Beady Eye made their Leeds Festival debut tonight (August 27), with fans coming out in praise for the show as soon as it was wrapped up.

Liam Gallagher's band got a huge thumbs up from the big crowd, who turned out to see the former Oasis frontman make his first appearance at the festival in 11 years.

AJ Garthorpe, 21, said: "It was a mega wasn't it? What did you expect though, it's Liam Gallagher. He's on the ball. I think he’s got more passion now and he's enjoying it more now than he was in Oasis.

Nick Daniel, 28, said: "I thought they were really good. They're quite similar to Oasis but I like their influences like Paul Weller. It's good to see Liam play on his own too. He's a good frontman and he carries the band. I'd rather go and see them than any other band here."

Some fans in the crowd said they thought Beady Eye's songs were better than Noel Gallagher's recent debut solo single 'The Death Of You And Me'.

"I have to admit they’re better than what I’ve heard of Noel Gallagher so far. I'm not impressed with his single at all," said Adam Lea, 18.

Becky Keoghan, 18, said she initially shunned Beady Eye because Noel wasn't in the band. But she changed her opinon after seeing them at Bramham Park tonight, saying: "I refused to listen to them at first because Noel wasn’t in the band but now that I've seen them I really like them."

Unlike during last night's gig in Reading, Liam kept quiet about his brother, keeping chat to a minimum as he rattled off songs from their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding'.

Beady Eye played:

'Four Letter Word'
'Beatles And Stones'
'Millionaire'
'The Roller'
'Bring The Light'
'Standing On The Edge Of The Noise'
'Kill For A Dream'
'The Beat Goes On'
'Three Ring Circus'
'Man of Misery'
'The Morning Son'
'Wigwam'
'Sons Of The Stage'
