Liam Gallagher has hit headlines yet again with an outburst on social media. It comes after he said The Beatles were "ungrateful" as he took a swipe against the city of Liverpool and Scousers.
However, what he did 21 years ago while performing alongside his brother must have slipped his mind. The Oasis frontman has been at odds with Liverpool FC fans for days on X after he suggested the Reds, among other sides, were "corrupt".
Manchester City charges spark rant
The Mancunian singer's rantings began after Manchester City were found guilty by an independent commission of 114 of the 115 charges they were accused of relating to their conduct in the Premier League. What followed was taunting from fans from various fan bases across the UK, which lead to Liam claiming their comments were misdirected.
On October 2, he said: "All this hatred directed at Man City from other clubs should be directed at Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. They're the ones who are corrupt and trying to stop other teams from winning things not Man City. We're trying to help you all out, we're like Jesus prepared to die on the cross."
'Ungrateful little sods'
Liam, who is often vocal and keen to interact with fans on X, has been discussing the matter - among others - for days. In his latest statement, he took a swipe at the city of Liverpool, Scousers and even the Beatles, branding scousers "ungrateful".
The 54-year-old said: "All these Scousers giving me and my band s***, Oasis have done more for the city of Liverpool than they will ever do. Oasis put the Beatles back on the map which they no doubt directly profit from, ungrateful little sods MCFC LG x."
2005 Champions League tribute
It appears Gallagher has forgotten the time he and his brother came out on stage to 'You'll Never Walk Alone' 21 years ago.
On May 25, 2005, Oasis was playing a concert at Notting Hill's Coronet Theatre. Almost 2,000 miles away in Istanbul, Rafael Benitez's Liverpool came back from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan on penalties to win the UEFA Champions League.
Oasis did not come out on stage until the game, which was shown on a big screen in the venue, had finished. And when they did arrive on stage, they didn't use their usual introduction music of 'F***in' in the Bushes'. Instead, they walked out to Liverpool's anthem, 'You'll Never Walk Alone', with red lights shining. And during the concert Liam devoted the song 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' to Milan's fans.
As reported by the NME, Noel said: "The gig was sold out, and I said, 'Instead of getting a support band, why don't we get a big screen and stick it in the middle of the stage so everyone can watch the game?' Then we'll play after the game and get a late curfew'. They all went for it, so we hired a big cinema thing."
2027 tour sold out
Despite the brother's tribute to the Reds, Liam seems to have forgotten his goodwill towards Liverpool fans.
Oasis announced on Instagram at 4pm on September 14 that they would be heading out on tour in 2027. The band later added four new dates to their tour including extra nights at Knebworth, with tickets now sold out.
After the tour sold out, Liam said: "That's all folks we have officially sold out no more tickets left congratulations to everyone who got a ticket and to the people who didn't sneak in f*** it yolo." The band said in a separate post: "Tickets for Oasis Live '27 have now sold out. See you in 2027!"
Just two days before releasing their debut 1994 single, 'Supersonic', Oasis performed to a packed club on Liverpool's Cumberland Street called Lomax. The venue was known for hosting emerging Britpop acts such as Radiohead, Supergrass and The Verve before they went on to huge fame and success.
