Ex-Oasis singer’s anger as he mourns lost stardom in a Champagne Supernova on Twitter

All day boozing then ranting on Twitter: Is this the end of Liam Gallagher’s career?

AS the most influential names in music partied at the Brits, one angry man

was watching it on telly and cementing his move from rock ‘n’ roll icon – to

keyboard warrior.

Summing up his thoughts on an industry which has discarded him, Liam Gallagher

wrote: “Music in the UK has been abducted by massive c****. Thank f*** I got

out when I got out.”

Twenty years after snarling out hits in front of 250,000 adoring fans over two

nights at Knebworth, the former Oasis frontman is still angry.

But these days it is self-pitying bitterness at no longer being considered

important enough to attend a big music bash, and his response is to fire off

yet another misspelt late-night Twitter rant.

It made a change, at least. More usually this twilight bile is aimed at

long-suffering brother Noel — considered the musical brains of the band.

But despite his claims he no longer wants to be associated with British music,

the reality would appear to be somewhat different.

Liam, 43, would surely love to be leading the mischief at the Brits with his

bandmates if given half a chance.

He has been getting excited about fellow Britpop star Richard Ashcroft’s

return to form, and tried to help Viola Beach up the charts after the band’s

tragic car crash.

Liam, who is now dating manager Debbie Gwyther, craves the attention his star

status used to bring, but now his stock has fallen he is struggling to cope

with being an also-ran.

This week he even told a fan he was retiring due to his inability to write a

decent tune.

He said: “I am retired now. I can write 25 songs but all of them will be a bit

s***.”

And to top it all off, he’s going bald.

Noel, 48, once summed up his little brother by saying he’s “like a man with a

fork in a world of soup”.

According to a source close to Liam, though, his rants now are more to do with

his thirst.

The friend said: “Liam is bored. He literally has nothing to do, so he spends

most of his days in poky pubs getting drunk.

“He then gets home late and abuses people on Twitter. He is struggling to fill

the hole left by music.”

Last week, an afternoon boozing session in central London’s Carnaby Street saw

Liam spout more angry abuse, this time in the direction of an old pal he

bumped into.

A source said: “Liam had been boozing all afternoon and was clearly the worse

for wear.

“He started ranting at this bloke for no real reason, slagging off Noel and

calling him ‘square’. It’s this type of behaviour which puts Noel off ever

getting Oasis back together.”

Noel is the main target of Liam’s Twitter assaults, being called a “c***”, “an

old tart” and “brown tongue”.

The older brother once noted: “Liam only has two problems — everything he

f***ing says and everything he f***ing does.”

An Oasis reunion is the answer to all Liam’s problems.

His coffers were hit by his divorce from second wife Nicole Appleton when a

judge ordered him to part with half his £11million fortune in December.

And he has the added costs of child maintenance for his four children by four

different mothers.

They are Molly, 17, from a relationship with singer Lisa Moorish; Lennon, 16,

from his marriage to first wife Patsy Kensit; Gene, 14, his only child with

wife of five years Nicole; and Gemma, three, his love child with US

journalist Liza Ghorbani which resulted in his split from Nicole.

Liam really needs a money-spinning tour to boost his income, which is now

propped up by the success of the Pretty Green clothing label he was involved

in founding in 2009.

But it is simply not going to happen without Noel, who has previously stated

he would need to be paid “£10million” to even consider the idea.

An Oasis insider said: “Noel doesn’t need a reunion. He’s doing fine on his

own.

“He enjoys the quiet life, and going back on tour with Liam would turn that on

its head. To describe Liam as a liability is an understatement.

“He’s an absolute nightmare and to perform one gig, let alone a 25th

anniversary tour, would be too much to take on.

“But money always talks and Noel would have to get paid an obscene amount to

go through the hassle of working with Liam again.”

Another reason behind Liam’s bitterness is his jealously towards his brother,

who has carved out a successful solo career with Noel Gallagher’s High

Flying Birds.

But almost everything Liam has been involved in post-Oasis has flopped,

including his band Beady Eye which split in 2014, and his failed attempt to

turn a book about The Beatles into a movie.

His only success has been Pretty Green, although he has been given huge

guidance by co-founders. The insider added: “Everything Noel has, Liam

hasn’t. He’s idolised and respected by the media, plus is confident in his

own skin.

“Liam is massively self-conscious and deeply concerned with losing his looks,

which is why he’s become so dedicated to running. He’s also going bald which

has got him worried.”

As well as dingy London pubs, Liam has also been spending more time in Ireland

with family members away from the spotlight.

But it is his mum Peggy who his pals want him to see more of. A friend said:

“Peggy is one of very few people who sees through Liam’s faults.

“She’s always been very supportive of her sons and a greater influence in his

life would be a positive thing.”

Liam’s falling out with close allies has also led to his downfall.

Steve Allen, the former head of security for Oasis, became close to Liam and

they became partners in Pretty Green, until the singer cut ties after a

falling out.

Oasis’s former management were tough disciplinarians but have now pledged

allegiance to Noel, which was a huge blow.

With nobody to keep a close eye on him, Liam is left to his own devices —

which can be dangerous when he’s armed with his credit card.

Liam’s extravagant spending was well documented in his divorce battle.

Judge Martin O’Dwyer, who oversaw the case at London’s Central Family Court,

even slammed the “manifestly excessive” combined £800,000 Liam and Nicole

spent on lawyers.

Insiders believed Liam was running Beady Eye as if he was in Oasis, splashing

cash excessively, which he hinted during a chat with music mag NME in 2013.

He said: “When they turn round and say, ‘What hotels do you want?’ You don’t

say ‘S**t ones, please!’ I don’t go on the road to come back with a big pot

of money.

“I go on the road to have a good time, do great gigs and enjoy being in a

band. And that means staying in good hotels and flying business class and

s**t like that.

“I don’t want a f***ing Mini picking me up at the airport, I want a nice

f***ing car picking me up, and if I come back and I’ve made no money on that

tour because it’s all been spent, then I’m happy with that.

“Other people might not be, but I do what I f***ing want.

“I don’t go on the road to make money, I do it to have a f***ing good time.”

He has certainly done that.

When contacted by The Sun last night a spokesman for Liam declined to comment.
