Liam Gallagher Threatens To ''f*** Off Forever'' If His Solo Album Is Unsuccessful

Liam Gallagher has threatened he might ''f*** off forever'' if his solo album is unsuccessful.

The 43-year-old singer songwriter - who embarked on his solo career after he split from the band Oasis because of a feud with his brother Noel - has admitted he will disappear off of the music radar if his upcoming LP isn't a hit.

Speaking to the Metro newspaper, he said: ''I've done the Beady Eye thing and that didn't come off and I thought maybe I'll just have a break, but I wrote these songs, and I thought, what else can I do? This album if it does well we crack on and do another one.

''If it doesn't [laughs] I don't know what I'll do. I probably will f*** off forever but we'll see.''

Despite quitting the group seven years ago after a public spat with Noel, the rocker has admitted he would like to rekindle his relationship with his sibling because he thinks there's nothing else to do but reunite.

He explained: ''As long as you're still breathing there's always a chance. Obviously I'd like to do it 'Cos there's a f*** all else to do. In the meantime a solo record will have to do.''

Betting Has Been Suspended On A Oasis Reunion Taking Place In 2017

The Britpop band split in 2009, with rumours of the group reuniting circulating ever since. Last week saw bookmakers slash the odds of Oasis reforming while former guitarist Bonehead added that he'd "be there like a shot" if a reunion seemed likely.

Now bookmakers Betway have suspended all bets on a 2017 Oasis reunion. The company's Alan Alger has said of the decision: "Our traders were put on red alert after a significant number of maximum stake bets at 5/4 for Oasis to reunite in 2017 were placed. It’s a niche market to bet on, so it was immediately flagged up and the decision to suspend any further betting on the band getting back together was taken."

"If the betting activity has come from sources ‘in the know’, then it would seem we could well be on for an Oasis reunion next year. We’ll now just have to wait and see, and I’m sure there will be millions of fans with their fingers crossed!"

The Libertines Carl Barat On Collaborating With Noel Gallagher

In an exclusive interview with Carl Barat of The Libertines, he talked to kulbritania.com about the likelihood of a future collaboration with Noel Gallagher and what the Manchester band meant to him.

We asked Barat that during the making of their third record there were rumours Noel Gallagher wanted to produce the album which finally never materialised we wanted to know if The Libertines would like to do something with him one day to which he replied:

"Yes, definitely. We'd like to do something with Noel. I suppose it was hard for him because we were recording in Thailand at the time. We love and respect Noel and we'd like to do something with him one day if he wants to, of course" and went on to add what Oasis meant to him when he was growing up:

"Oasis meant a lot to me. That's why I respect Noel and Oasis so much like I do because they were literally an Oasis in the middle of a lot of crap at the time. Oasis had this old school, rock n roll attitude which was great really. They were very inspiring. They were a very important band in my life for sure."

The full interview with The Libertines will be available soon.

Liam Gallagher Backs Sons To Be Next Oasis

Liam Gallagher has backed his sons to start a band and become the next Oasis

The 44-year-old singer's 17-year-old son Lennon - Liam's child with first wife Patsy Kensit - can play guitar and has a great singing voice.

Lennon's 15-year-old half-brother Gene - whose mum is Liam's ex-wife Nicole Appleton - is a talented multi-instrumentalist and can play guitar and drums and Liam is backing them to following in his and his brother Noel's musical footsteps.

However, the 'Roll With It' hitmaker insists no matter what his kids may go on to achieve they'll never be able to match their dad's globe conquering group.

Speaking about Gene's talents at a screening for new Oasis documentary 'Supersonic', he told BANG Showbiz: "Geno's better than me man, I actually think he's a better drummer than guitarist, but as long as he's doing something creative that's OK I'm happy with that."

He added with a grin: "He and Lennon could do (start a band) if they wanted to, but they'll never be as good as Oasis!"

Proud dad Liam recently posted a photo of Gene playing guitar and pulling his best rock star pose on his Twitter account along with the words "get in there my son".

Previously discussing his sons' talents, Liam said: "I'd recommend life in a band to anyone. It's the best gig in the world, man. Gene is up in his room drumming every day. Oh, mate, he loves it. Lennon does guitar lessons and fancies himself as a bit of a singer ... Lennon's a massive Who fan. It's got nothing to do with me, he's just obsessed with 'Quadrophenia'."

Their cousins Sonny and Donavan - Noel's lads with spouse Sara Macdonald - are also being encouraged to get not music by the songwriter.

However, all the Gallagher kids rarely see each other due to Liam and Noel's ongoing feud which was sparked in 2009 when the guitarist quit Oasis.

And Noel, like Liam, wouldn't discourage his lads from starting a rock group together but he's not going to help them.

When once asked if he would advise against his sons Donovan and Sonny choosing his career path, Noel said: "No because we were f***ing great, you know what I mean. I don't know if you heard but we sold like 70 million f***ing albums. I can't teach anyone because I just kind of magicked it up. So my lad has got a drum kit in his bedroom and a guitar, I don't know what he's trying to do, both of them at the same time or something. He's also left-handed which is slightly annoying. My theory is that if we have musical instruments lying around the house then they will just pick them up. I don't say guitar lessons today from three until quarter past. If they do it they do it and if they don't they don't."

Liam Gallagher: The Oasis Film Will Give You Orgasms

Liam Gallagher says the Oasis documentary is so good it will give audiences "multiple orgasms".

The film - directed by Matt Whitecross - charts the rock band's incredible journey from a council estate in Manchester to global success, culminating in their two historic concerts at Knebworth in August 1996 which were witnessed by a total of 250,000 fans.

Liam says anyone who watches the film will be left in a state of ecstasy, especially if they are fans of his former group.

Speaking at a screening of 'Supersonic' at the Vue Cinema in London on Sunday night (03.10.16), he told BANG Showbiz: "I think anyone who watches it will know about Oasis, no one's going to come away and be like, 'Wow, f***ing hell.' They know what it is, I'm sure people will enjoy it if they're into the band, I'm sure some people will f***ing hate it. There's lots in it, but if you know Oasis and you're into that kind of thing you're going to have multiple orgasms ... Oasis were what we were, we were great and we were s**t at the same time. It was an emotional ride man, I think that it was rocking."

Liam, 44, and his estranged brother Noel, 49, gave hours of interviews for the project talking about all of the on stage and backstage antics of the 'Wonderwall' hitmakers - who split in 2009.

The singer admits he was shocked by how much footage there was of the band's early days because back in the 90s no one was walking around with a camera phone in their pocket to capture their antics.

He said: "There was a lot that I didn't remember, the bits that I didn't know were filmed I was like, F***ing hell!' I was pretty surprised that there was that much footage because back in them days we didn't have camera phones and all that, you know what I mean."

Although he enjoyed looking back at the early years of Oasis, Liam insists he doesn't get nostalgic for those times because every moment of his life is glorious.

The 'Songbird' songwriter said: "I did enjoy looking back at it. But I think life is glorious, every day is a f***ing glory day, whether you're making music or picking flowers. But yeah I enjoyed looking back at the band, it was incredible."

Video: Liam Gallagher Interview On Solo Album, Oasis, Noel Gallagher

Today we interviewed Liam Gallagher at the premiere of Supersonic, the documentary on the rise of one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of our time: Oasis. Directed by Mat Whitecross, the film takes an in-depth look at the often tumultuous relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, two of the finest rock stars this country has ever produced; Supersonic opens with the formation of Oasis in 1991 and culminates with their record breaking gig at Knebworth on 10th August 1996 – 20 years ago.

Liam Gallagher told us that “the thought of being solo [still] does not to do it for me”, however he is making the record “for himself” and “to pay the f*****g bills”. When asked about his brother Noel, who in the movie admits Oasis would have not gotten off the ground without his voice, he sayid: “That’s probably the truest thing he’s ever said.”

Liam Gallagher Reveals He'll Perform Oasis Songs Live At Solo Shows

Liam Gallagher has revealed whether he will perform Oasis songs when playing live around his upcoming solo album release.

The former frontman of the Britpop band had previously denied that he would go solo, arguing that he wouldn't do so because he is "not a c**t". However, it was later announced that he has inked a deal with major label Warner Bros for a solo LP, coming in 2017.

Gallagher's post-Oasis band Beady Eye initially decided against performing Oasis hits live, eventually introducing a handful of the Britpop group's songs into their set during in 2012.

Supporting The Stone Roses at Manchester's Heaton Park that year, Beady Eye performed 'Morning Glory' and 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' for the first time.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Liam has now confirmed that he will perform Oasis songs live when he makes his return.

"[The songs] belong to me as much as to [Noel]," he said. "He wrote them, but I raised them." Gallagher went on to say that he will open sets with 'Don’t Look Back in Anger', the first Oasis single to feature lead vocals from brother Noel.

Elsewhere in the interview, Liam said of his solo record: "I can only say it’s sounding promising." He also acknowledged fan doubts over what the music might sound like. "There’s disbelief, without a doubt. That spurs me on. It’s like when people body-shame someone, and two minutes later they’ve got a six-pack," he said.

"I’m not a media darling, so people go, ‘He can’t write songs.’ And maybe I can’t, but what I’ve got is good. It’s a bit of everything. A few are a bit 'Working Class Hero', which suits my Rolls-Royce. And garage-rock psychedelia, in your face. There’s a song I like called 'Over' — acoustic, faraway voices. Cool. I think it will put a few people in their place."

“The main thing is, the voice is sounding delicious," Gallagher continued. "It’s still banging it. Then there’s nice falsetto bits. Bit chilled."

Liam Gallagher 'Ready' For Oasis Reunion

The younger Gallagher brother says the band should never have split up - but can't resist having a pop at his brother Noel.

Liam Gallagher has said he is ready for an Oasis reunion - but will not go "cap in hand" to brother Noel to make it happen.

The band's ex-frontman said that the band should never have split up in 2009 and that his "bags are packed" if the opportunity arises to get the group together again.

He told Sky News: "If it happens tomorrow, I'm ready, my bags are packed. If it happens in a year, I'm still ready, if it happens in 10 years, I'm still ready.

"But there'll be no cap in the hand and no banjo, you know what I mean? A little f****** skinny, stringy dog outside his house going 'please sir, I need a f****** band, mate.

"If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it f****** doesn't, we move on."

Speaking at the launch of Supersonic, a new documentary film about the band, Liam, 44, could not resist a dig at his older brother - who did not attend the screening.

He said: "He won't be here - he's in one of his really, really, really, big houses, probably eating tofu, while having a f****** face peel, ain't that right, man of the people?"

Wearing his trademark parka jacket, Liam admitted to missing his older brother "without a doubt".

But he also accused him of "ruining" his Oasis career.

He said: "He just wanted to do this thing, there is a lot of angst there. For someone to ruin my Oasis career to further his own, we have got to get past that a little bit."

Supersonic - made by the team behind award-winning documentaries Amy and Senna - charts the formation and rise of Oasis.

Following the group through the early '90s, the film includes commentary from family and unseen archive material.
