Liam Gallagher has responded to Noel Gallagher’s press conference, labelling the guitarist “a control freak”.
The Oasis split won’t seem to go away. Noel Gallagher recently held a press conference, indicating that he was working on two separate solo albums – yet all the press wanted to ask was why his former group split up.
Looking back to that fateful night in Paris, Noel Gallagher accused his brother of wielding a guitar “like an axe” and attempting to attack him. Going further, the guitarist explained that relations had been strained for months.
Liam Gallagher pulled out of a show at V Festival, citing laryngitis. Noel Gallagher argued that this was faked – and that the singer was actually hungover – before the pair began arguing about his work on clothing label Pretty Green.
In response, Liam Gallagher took to his Twitter feed posting one word: ‘SHITBAG’.
Now the singer has given a more eloquent response. Speaking to Radio 1, the Beady Eye frontman claimed that Noel Gallagher was “no angel” and was telling lies about the final weeks of Oasis.
“In my opinion – he’s a control freak” the singer suggested. “He’s making up lies to get brownie points.”
Continuing, Liam Gallagher dismissed the V Festival allegations. “I got diagnosed with laryngitis for the V Festival – I wasn’t hungover. I do gigs when I’ve been hungover. I’m a big boy. I’m not going to cancel a gig because I’ve got a headache.”
The singer then accepted part of the blame for Oasis splitting up. It’s time he (Noel) woke up. He’s no angel. I’m partly to blame but I’m not solely to blame. People need to know that it wasn’t just me who split the band up, it was Noel too.”
Beady Eye are now preparing for a North American tour.
