Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher and his brother are avid supporters of Manchester City Football club. Their love for football has brought them closer to resolving their most recent standoff.

In 1997, he married Patsy Kensit with whom he has a son, Lennon. In 1998, he fathered a child, Molly, with Lisa Moorish. Since 2000, he was in a relationship with Nicole Appleton, a member of ‘All Saints’; they married in 2008 and have a son, Gene.

He, along with his band members, organized a fundraiser for the Japan Tsunami Disaster and raised more than 150,000 pounds for the British Red Cross.

William John Paul Gallagher was born to Irish couple, Thomas and Peggy Gallagher. His father was violently abusive, and his mother moved out of the house with her sons when he was 12.

His troubled younger years are rife with stories of bad behaviour. The singer was known for antagonizing people, getting suspended from school, and stealing bicycles from local shops.

In his late teens, the singer developed an ear for music and practised his singing skills listening to The Beatles, The Who, The Stone Roses, The Jam, etc.

This talented musician began singing with McGuigan, a school friend, in band, ‘The Rain’. They rarely practised and performed fewer gigs. Noel Gallagher agreed to join the band on the condition that he will be the sole songwriter. The band soon changed its name to Oasis.

‘Definitely Maybe’, their first album, took over the airplay in no time, and soon the band was being compared to the likes of ‘The Beatles’. They soon established a healthy rivalry with Blur, going so far as to publish a new singles on the same day in 1995.

In 1997, he worked with the band to release ‘Be Here Now’ which set a new record as the fastest selling album in UK chart history.

Year 2000 saw the departure of key founding members — Paul Arthurs and McGuigan— during the recording of ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Giants’.

He wrote three songs for the next album Heathen Chemistry, released in 2002. Songbird peaked at number 3 in the UK charts. Later that year, he was involved in a bar fight in Munich forcing the band to pull out of shows in Germany.

The second studio album ‘What’s the Story Morning Glory’ is Oasis’s highest-selling album with more than 22 million copies sold worldwide.

His most significant work as a solo artist is ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding’, which peaked at number 3 on the 2010 charts and sold more than 66,000 copies in the first week.
