Robbie Williams
Robbie Williams has revealed he once pretended to be Liam Gallagher to check into the Oasis star’s hotel room.
The former wild man of pop had been up all night and knew Gallagher had booked a room that he was not going to use, so decided to assume his identity.
Williams said in his upcoming biography, Reveal: “Did I ever tell you about the time that I booked into a hotel as Liam Gallagher?
“I was up all night in Manchester and then got on the train the next day with all the journalists that were still awake, and pulled a journalist.
“I think it was Later… With Jools Holland that he was supposed to be coming down for, and I knew that Liam wasn’t coming, and I knew that he had a hotel room free and I knew his pseudonym – Billy Shears.
“So I checked in as Billy Shears and slept with this journalist.”
Williams, 43, said Gallagher later discovered what he had done.
He said: “I think somebody told him.
“‘Cheeky c***…’ I don’t know if it was ‘cheeky c***’ good or ‘cheeky c***’ bad – I’m guessing bad.
“But, you know, I’d been up for more than twenty-four hours in the fumes of rock ‘n’ roll. In the dying embers of the night.
“What seems a good idea off your rocker is not the best idea sober.”

With the new Oasis movie Supersonic on the way, the BBC has decided to dig deep into its archive of interviews and news reports to come up with its own celebration of the legendary Manchester band.
And the broadcaster has turned up some seriously classic Gallagher moments, reviving snippets and soundbites that prove what we all knew: that Noel and Liam aren't just some of the city's most important musicians, they're also among its most natural comedians.
Oasis In Their Own Words revisits the moment the band changed the face of music in the 1990s: blazing an historic trail to the top of the pop charts in August 1994 with their debut album Definitely Maybe, locking horns with Blur in the battle to be king of the Britpop era, and making all kinds of tabloids headlines for record breaking shows at Knebworth as well as cancelled gigs in America.
We've had a preview of Oasis In Their Own Words - which is available on the BBC iPlayer from 7am on Friday, September 30 - and these are some of the highlights to look out for.
Left-handed Noel was told off for playing guitar right handed
Dexterous Noel was apparently ordered by his school music teacher to flip his guitar over and restring it to be played left-handed as he is a natural leftie. But "it didn't make sense" to play it that way round, he says in an interview with musician and presenter Jools Holland.
Instead he stuck to his guns, and remains pretty pleased with himself about the win, laughing, "I'd like to say if my old music teacher's watching, do you wanna borrow a tenner?".
"We made Bonehead go bald"
Adding to the body of evidence about the Gallagher God complex (look out for the amazing clip of newsreader Jennie Bond reporting that Oasis reckon they mean more to young people than religion because "has God played Knebworth lately?") is a nugget of footage in which Noel claims Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs' hair loss was a deliberate band decision.
"I told the rhythm guitarist he'd have a bit of character if he lost a bit of hair," says Noel. "So we made him go bald."
Hilarious.
Take that, Take That!
Liam's long cold stare into the camera is absolutely priceless as he recounts the success of Some Might Say, despite him boycotting the video shoot.
"Hey, I'm Liam from Oasis," he swaggers, "and our new song Some Might Say's gone in at number one, knocked Take That right off the spot, and we haven't done a video.
"I'm not paying £30,000 for me to sit in a truck stop and eat eggs, bacon, and beans," he says about refusing to shoot the planned video. "So I didn't get out of bed - and I got a slapped wrist for it."
Noel's damning assessment of Be Here Now
When presenter Jayne Middlemiss asks Noel about the criticism of the band's third studio album, Noel responds: "Looking back on it now we should have called it F*** It, That'll Do. I listen back to it and it sounds like a Bon Jovi album to me... Like Slippery When Wet."
Liam's assessment: "I think it's top."
Oasis: the biggest band in the UK?
Is a good question for a group who claimed this was their ambition, and Noel's analysis of the situation at the start of the 2000s is right on the money.
"I'll tell you what's the funny thing about being in Oasis, right, is when we first started off we were hailed as the new Beatles, and then second of all we were the U2 it was OK to like, and now we're a younger version of the Rolling Stones, i.e. the record's not doing too well but you can still come and see us at Wembley."
Oasis In Their Own Words broadcasts just before the release of Supersonic by Mat Whitecross, the man behind docudrama The Road To Guantanamo and award winning documentary movies Amy and Senna.
Supersonic premieres in Manchester on Sunday, October 2, and the sold-out first screening at the Odeon Printworks will feature an appearance from frontman Liam Gallagher himself, plus a Q&A session with fans afterwards.
The film is on general release from October 7.

Middle age creeps up on us all – even rock stars.
Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is celebrating his 40th birthday today – leaving his fans feeling a little old. The Manchester City fan kicked off festivities with a high-spirited trip to the Bernabeu this week where his beloved team lost 3-2 to home side Real Madrid. Liam got a ticking off from local cops for getting lairy.
Liam’s music career started when he joined his school mate Paul McGuigan’s band The Rain as a teenager. They changed the name to Oasis and were joined by Liam’s brother Noel.
They played their first gig in August 1991.
The group went on to get eight UK No1 singles and seven No1 albums before splitting in August 2009.
Liam is still touring with his band Beady Eye and is at loggerheads with Noel.
Here, the man who gave Oasis their first record deal pays tribute to Liam – and we revisit some of the mouthy star’s most memorable quotes.
There's a story I want to tell about Liam which sums the man up to me. Everyone’s got an idea of what he’s like. But to me the real Liam is a courteous gentleman.
I was one of the first casualties of the Nineties scene. After partying straight for seven years, I spent nine months in rehab.
When I got clean I came back to London around October 1994 really shaken up. You’d think that people would welcome you back with open arms. But most people were too embarrassed to speak to me. I was the elephant in the living room.
The one person who came up and spent two hours talking to me was Liam. It was in December 1994, the night after Oasis had recorded Jools Holland, with the suits on and the orchestra.
Even people from my own record company, Creation, didn’t know what to say. But Liam was the one to say, “Are you all right?” For that I will always love him.
He was just a kid at that point and he was always being bothered by people coming up to him. But all he cared about was checking that I was OK. In a sense that showed real balls. That, to me, shows the real guy who is often misrepresented.
It’s a total cliché but you are only as old as you feel. I doubt I’ll ever grow up properly — and Liam certainly won’t either.
To me he’s like one of the old blues guys — or Paul Weller or Mick Jagger. He will be in a band until the day he dies.
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were the first generation of rock stars and the first people that we’ve had to get used to playing gigs as older men.
Liam will be just the same. He’ll be up on stage when he’s in his seventies — whether it’s a small gig in the 100 Club or Wembley Stadium — and he’ll be doing it because he loves music.
That’s the best compliment I can pay him — that he still loves music and will still be doing it for a long time.
Turning 40 is always a big one. When you are in your thirties you can blag it that you are still a young guy. After 40, you can’t.
But I don’t think Liam will give a s***. He’ll put on a massive party for his close friends and it will be an excuse for a big night out.
He will live his forties like he has the rest of his life, in his own way. Good luck to him — and Happy Birthday.
