If Liam Gallagher Ever Goes Bald He's Getting A Wig

The former Oasis frontman - who once described one of his 90s hairstyles as "Dougal from 'The Magic Roundabout'" in reference to the children's TV dog - says there is no chance of him going around with no hair because that wouldn't be very rock 'n' roll of him.

The 'Wall of Glass' singer told the new issue of The Big Issue magazine: "No one wants to see bald rock stars, man. If I ever go bald, I'll be getting a wig. F***ing too right, without a doubt. There's no shame in that. What would you do? I wouldn't suffer in silence. I'd definitely go for it."

The 46-year-old rocker - who now has a short hairdo - also revealed that Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards is his biggest hair inspiration, but while he's tried out his style before, he has joked that by the time he hits the road for his tour in support of his debut solo LP 'As You Were' later this year he could rock a perm.

Asked who has served as his "hair hero", Liam said: "He's [Keith] got the Elvis thing going [with the sideburns] and it's really long down here [on the neck]. That's the perfect haircut. And I had it a couple of months ago. But last week I just thought, I'm a bit f***ing bored here, I'll go to the barbers. And I asked him, 'Do you have any clippers?' He went, 'Yeah', so I said, 'Just take it off' ... By the time I do the UK tour I might have a f**king perm. A Marc Bolan vibe. Who knows man, that's the beauty of life."

As for his what he's like when's he's not play the rockstar on stage, Liam insists he's super laid-back, unlike his wild partying days in the 'Some Might Say' group.

He said: "I'm a chilled motherf**ker these days. I certainly don't go round beating up old people and tripping them up or gobbling on windows. I've got a heart of gold."

Liam Gallagher Is Looking Forward To Playing For ‘Mental’ Korean Fans

It has been 26 years since the world was introduced to Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel -- a pair of “s---heads,” according to the singer’s own words -- but the 44-year-old singer has never let up, now leading a solo career in his post-Oasis and Beady Eye years.

“I’ve been doing this for more than 25 years, I don’t think I’ve got anything more to ‘prove,’” said Liam Gallagher, when asked what keeps him going, in a joint interview with Korean media. “I just want to keep making music. I still believe I’m one of the greatest rock ’n’ roll singers on the planet. So I just want to sing. I can’t do anything else.”

Gallagher will visit Korea on Aug. 22 for his first concert in the country as a solo artist, accompanied by the legendary rock band Foo Fighters.

In the concert, titled “Live Forever Young,” the former Oasis front man will perform hits by Oasis along with songs from his solo album “As You Were.”

Marking his first return in five years, Gallagher expressed his excitement in meeting the Korean fans he described as “mental.”

While he said he liked Japanese fans’ “chill and nice” demeanor, he said he liked the Korean fans for being “more punk and more crazy.”

Gallagher is coming off a surprise appearance at the “One Love Manchester” benefit concert, held in response to the May terrorist bombing at an Ariana Grande concert that left nearly two dozen dead.

While the schedule originally would have made it impossible for him to perform, Gallagher insisted on finishing his earlier gig in Germany to show support.

“It was a no-brainer. I wanted to be there because it’s my hometown and I wanted to show that I support them. Put a few smiles on people,” he said. “It’s terrible. We are all living in a strange, horrible world. But you got to just keep going about your business.”

Playing in Manchester has always had a special place in Gallagher’s heart, as his favorite gig remains playing at Maine Road where he used to watch the Manchester City soccer team as a young fan.

From a soccer-loving little kid in Manchester to a rock legend, music has shaped Gallagher’s life.

“It (music) means everything. It saved me from being ... God knows where. It gave me a great life. It gave me a reason to wake up in the morning,” he said.

When asked to describe his dream band, Gallagher said it would have Keith Moon on drums, John Entwistle on the bass and Jimi Hendrix and Keith Richards on lead and rhythm guitars, respectively. While he said he wanted to sing on this “Odd Squad,” Gallagher said he did not mind taking the back seat to Steve Jones from Sex Pistols.

Gearing up for the Seoul concert, he advised Korean fans to just enjoy themselves.

“Stay cool, stay safe, come out and let’s have lots of fun,” he said.

The event will be held on Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. at Jamsil Olympic Stadium in southern Seoul.

Liam Gallagher's Style Icons

The Pretty Green frontman took a break from showing off the AW13 line at London Collections: Men to reveal his fashion inspirations.

KEITH RICHARDS

“He looked like he’d slept in his clothes and worn them for about a month. You can look too smart sometimes. I hate that. I like shoes you’ve had for ages that look battered. What’s the point of having a fucking jacket if you’re only going to wear it once? You should wear it a million times.”
 
PAUL WELLER

“Paul Weller in the Jam era. Bands now are told what to wear. There aren’t any bands today that look good. I really like The Pistols too, but they wore leather kecks and I’m not really into leather kecks. You’re probably never going to catch me in hot pants, but then you never know what’s around the corner.”
 
GEORGE HARRISON

“He was the coolest one. Anything he put on, he just made it look cool. And he knew how to wear a kaftan. He could wear one and look like he’d just got back from India, do you know what I mean? I don’t know what it is [about him]. I just know that every time I see a picture of him I think, ‘I’m having that.’”
 
LIAM GALLAGHER

“Me. Because I don’t give a fuck. I was born that way. That’s just the way it is. I’m cool, man. I don’t know what it is. That’s the thing with Pretty Green – it’s not there to be magnified. I’m sure Keith Richards wasn’t thinking about it that much either. He just whacked it on and he looked cool.”

Listen Again To The Ultimate Noel Gallagher Playlist

Click here to listen again to The Ultimate Noel Gallagher Playlist.

Tom asks the 6 Music listeners to help compile the ultimate Noel Gallagher playlist. Noel was on the 6 Music breakfast show with Shaun Keaveny on Wednesday as part of their Legends Week, which also included Keith Richards, Johnny Marr and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden.

Help Pick The Ultimate Noel Gallagher Playlist

This week the 6 Music Breakfast Show have been honoring some of the biggest and most influential names in music. Keith Richards and Johnny Marr have already been in chatting to Shaun during Legends Week, and Chris Cornell will be in tomorrow – but on Now Playing this Sunday we want you to help us build a show around today’s guest, Noel Gallagher.

Without doubt he’s one of the most influential artists of his generation. He helped Oasis establish themselves as poster boys of Brit Pop in the 1990s, while their success continued well into the new Millennium until their acrimonious split in 2009, which set the path in motion for Noel to form the High Flying Birds.

With controversy, spats and sibling rivalries throughout his career he is unquestionably a rock and roll star, and will forevermore be regarded in the highest esteem thanks to his songwriting, musical talent and distinctive voice.

So accept our challenge and help us pick the Ultimate Noel Gallagher Playlist and make it something reflective of his status as a living legend. You could go for:
* Your favorite Oasis hit, B-side or rarity
* Something he’s made by himself as part of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
* Tracks from people he’s collaborated with be it The Chemical Brothers, Paul Weller, Goldie or even Ricky Gervais
* One of his many influences - The Smiths to The Beatles, Bob Dylan and The Stone Roses
* Or one of the bands he’s inspired like Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Lilly Allen and The Cribs
