Liam Gallagher To Attend The Chelsea Flower Show

Rock wildman Liam Gallagher has found an oasis of calm — the Chelsea Flower Show.

He will attend the annual gardening event on the same day as the Queen.

The ex-Oasis frontman, 40, asked for tickets to a VIP preview day of the show, which is celebrating its 100th year.

A source said: “Liam is one of the most unlikely guests in the event’s history.

“His rampaging days are definitely over — which is a relief to organisers given the importance of some guests.”

Liam — set to release a new album with his band Beady Eye — is better known for planting one on photographers, than for planting seeds.

He is not the only pop star due at Monday’s preview, where attractions range from The Sun’s garden to stands selling botanical etchings.

Veterans Rod Stewart and Ringo Starr, plus singer Lily Allen are also due to attend.

My View

By PETER SEABROOK, Gardening Editor

I’M delighted Liam is coming to his senses in his more mature years and appreciating the good things in life... growing your own.

Gardeners grow smiles. They smile with success — and when they give their produce away, they are always greeted with more smiles.

Video: Noel Gallagher Before, During And After The FA Cup Final

We caught up with the Manchester music men before, during and after The FA Cup Final.

Gallagher Brothers United As Liam And Noel Want City To Stick With Mancini

Oasis brothers united as Liam and Noel want City to stick with Mancini despite Cup defeat

The Gallagher brothers may have been at odds for years but there is one thing Liam and Noel can agree on and that is that Roberto Mancini should remain as manager of their beloved Manchester City.

The former Oasis pair were both at Wembley – separately - to watch City lose the FA Cup final to Wigan and put on record their support for Mancini.

The Italian's days at City looked numbered after it was reported over the weekend that Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini was being lined up at the Etihad.

But both Gallagher brothers want to see Mancini remain at the club.

Speaking before the final, Beady Eye frontman Liam told ESPN: ‘I think Mancini should stay. Mancini has won us the league for the first time in 40 years, as well as The FA Cup.

‘I’m not into this [idea of] getting rid of people, you need some consistency, so I’m all for Mancini.

And older brother Noel seemed to be singing from the same song sheet as he backed Mancini to stay after the defeat by Wigan.

He told FA TV: ‘What really annoys me is losing gives every justification for Mancini to lose his job. It gives people a reason to do it, which is a shame because I think he should stay.’

Before the game Noel had been full of confidence, boldly predicting that City could win with eight men with either Sergio Aguero or Carlos Tevez netting a hat-trick.

He said: ‘We should beat this lot with eight men and I think we are going to see a hat-trick today, either Carlos or Aguero.’

But by the end of the game Gallagher Snr was full of praise for Wigan after their win, saying: ‘Fair play to them for sticking at it. I thought they would blow out after 75 minutes, so respect for them for going for it.

'It sums up our season really, we were 20-odd goals short in league and we could not stick it in the back of the net today.’

Noel Gallagher Thinks Rock Star Morrissey Is A Booze God

Noel Gallagher thinks rock star Morrissey is a booze god.

The ex-Smiths frontman popped into the Oasis dressing room for a chat before one of their gigs.

And Noel, 45, admits he was shocked to see the controversial rocker, 53, down almost a whole pint of vodka.

Noel said: “I asked him what he wanted to drink, and he said vodka.

“I swear to you, he had about three-quarters of a pint of vodka with a splash of tonic.

“He was necking it. Top man. I love him.”

Andy Bell Sat And Watched As Oasis Disintegrated

Rocker Andy Bell has confessed he sat back and did nothing as warring Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher had a furious fight which spelled the end of the band.

Bell joined Oasis as the Wonderwall hitmakers' new bassist in 1999 and he was still in the band when they split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at a venue in Paris, France in 2009.

Now the rocker has opened up about the incident, admitting he deliberately refused to intervene as the pair clashed because he had been previously warned to avoid getting involved in their regular confrontations.

Bell, who went on to form Beady Eye with Liam and Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, tells rock magazine Q, "I've got to put my hands up and say I did sit there and freeze. I felt it wasn't my place to interfere. I'd been told as much in the past as well. I did step in on previous occasions, like in Barcelona, and was told, 'Don't go there'. I'm fine with what happened. I have no interest in furthering the beef."

Liam Gallagher On How He Got Rid Of A Troublesome Tramp

Rock star Liam Gallagher has told how he got rid of a troublesome tramp who had been pestering his Hampstead neighbours.

The Beady Eye singer said the homeless man had become a nuisance by persistently ringing on doorbells and going through bins in the early hours of the morning.

The former Oasis star, speaking at the relaunch of Red House restaurant in Chelsea, told the Standard: “This tramp kept hassling me at my house.

“I know he has been a problem for other people round our way. He was ringing on our buzzer early in the morning and kept asking if I would pay for his pay-as-you-go phone. Proper mad.

“The final straw was when he started messing with my recycling bins. I’m a bit anal about my recycling and he ended up shoving his crutches in my bin. I came out and squared up to him and he had a bit of a go.

“Put it this way, I don’t think he’ll be coming back round my way again.”

Gallagher, 40, lives in Hampstead with wife Nicole Appleton and their son Gene, 11, who he says may well follow in his father’s footsteps into rock ’n’ roll.

He added: “He plays the drums and is really good. He’s more of a Keith Moon type than a steady drummer but I think he’s got what it takes.”

Liam Gallagher Blasts Noel's Friendship With Damon Albarn

Liam Gallagher has never been one to keep his opinions on the down low and the singer has now blasted his brother Noel and his alleged friendship with former arch-enemy Damon Albarn, labelling their pally ways "b*****ks."

The ex-Oasis stars famously endured a rivalry with Albarn and his Blur bandmates in their 1990s heyday but guitarist Noel put the long-running feud behind him in March this year, when he joined the Parklife singer onstage at a charity show in London.

Liam took a swipe at his brother over the performance, but now he has spoken out to accuse Noel of faking his newfound friendship with Albarn.

He tells NME magazine, "That was b**locks. If you think that was genuine you must be living on the f**king moon. Why do I know that? Because I know my brother. That's how I feel. He's full of s**t. I think Damon's alright... But you know our kid (Noel). It'll be Robbie Williams next."

And those aren't the only harsh words that Liam had in terms of his family member, blasting Noel once again recently, calling him a "f***ing Gobsh***."

The controversial singer made the comments after revealing that his Beady Eye band will not be performing Oasis's back catalogue when they go on tour.

Talking to the magazine the 40-year-old rocker said: “We'll keep it as two because there's too many people loitering in the past.”

He then went to do say: “Noel does quite a bit, but that's his f***ing thing: splitting up Oasis and putting half the f***ing songs in your f***ing set, it's schizophrenic.”

Sending out a clear message to his brother and former band mate, he then said: “If you want to play f***ing Oasis songs put the band back together and stop being a f***ing gobs***e”

Liam recently said that if Beady Eye's new album 'Be' flopped then he would retire from music for good.

The Beady Eye front man has also been hitting the headlines recently for his boozy antics being spotted riding a dog in a posh London pub.
