Liam Gallagher interview: “Being solo? I got to pay the f******g bills”

Today we interviewed Liam Gallagher at the premiere of Supersonic, the documentary on the rise of one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll bands of our time: Oasis. Directed by Mat Whitecross, the film takes an in-depth look at the often tumultuous relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, two of the finest rock stars this country has ever produced; Supersonic opens with the formation of Oasis in 1991 and culminates with their record breaking gig at Knebworth on 10^th August 1996 – 20 years ago.

Liam Gallagher told us that “the thought of being solo [still] does not to do it for me”, however he is making the record “for himself” and “to pay the f*****g bills”. When asked about his brother Noel, who in the movie admits Oasis would have not gotten off the ground without his voice, he sayid: “That’s probably the truest thing he’s ever said.”
