Liam Gallagher On Ending Up In Bed With Steve Coogan

This is seriously the best thing you’ll hear all day.

It’s a busy time for young Liam Gallagher. He’s just released his first solo single, performed his first solo gigs, now he’s getting ready to take on Glastonbury when he plays the Other Stage on Saturday evening.

Interviewed by journalist John Doran for the Noisey British Masters series, Liam tells the tale of a night out with Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan back in the hectic 90s.

I love Coogan. I partied with him once, there was a wedding going on, Me and him are sat at the bar, having a couple of drinks. Loads of people come in and they’re going ‘Liam, are you going to sing Wonderwall?’.

“I was like, no none of that nonsense. He’s going, ‘Leave him alone, I’ll sing a song’. And I don’t think they really knew who he was. And he got up on stage and sang It’s Not Unusual by Tom Jones, but fucking mega.

“Anyway, we drank loads of Guinness and gone up to our room and we crashed out. I woke up in the morning and I see this lump in the bed. I go, ‘Oh God, who’s this?’. A little tap on the fucking [shoulder].

“He’s fully clothed and he goes [mimes throwing back duvet] ‘Ahaaaaaaa!’”

Liam Gallagher Once Woke Up In Bed With Steve Coogan

Rock wildman Liam Gallagher has confessed he's quit booze after 20 years on the sauce - and been sober for six months.

And the 38-year-old - who hit fame singing Oasis hits like Champagne Supernova and Cigarettes & Alcohol - reckons being on the wagon has improved his voice.

He says it has made it softer and more mellow on his new Beady Eye tracks.

Liam said: "If I have a drink, I'll be on the Christmas special. I haven't had a drink since New Year's Eve. I'm having a bit of a break. I went 20 years drinking and messing about. It's rubbish.

"At Knebworth I thought we were doing one night and we were doing two. I got that mashed on the first I woke up to a knock on the door and thought I was at home. I forgot all about it. But I had to go and do it again. That was heavy."

But despite the lifestyle change Liam, who says his new favourite tipple is ginger ale, still hasn't ended his feud with older brother and ex-bandmate Noel.

He admitted the rift is so deep he wasn't even invited to Noel's wedding to Sara McDonald last month.

Liam said: "I wouldn't have gone anyway. I was busy. If I had I'd have had a drink and it would have gone pear-shaped. It would've been like Dynasty."

In his 1990s heyday, Liam's drinking was so bad he once woke up in bed with Alan Partridge star Steve Coogan, who yelled out his "Ah-Ha!" catchphrase.

Liam tells Alan Carr: Chatty Man - tonight at 10 on Channel 4: "I woke up next to Coogan. Nothing happened though."
