Before the Oasis Live comeback performances this week in Cardiff, Liam Gallagher spoke with Burberry.

Liam Gallagher has given a mini interview ahead of the Oasis comeback tour – explaining what he thinks makes a great frontman.

The Oasis singer was modelling a new Burberry jacket when he answered a series of questions for the designer brand just days before he will take to the stage with brother Noel Gallagher in Cardiff. The pair and the rest of Oasis have already been rehearsing in the Principality stadium in the Welsh capital.

Asked what makes a great frontman, Liam said: “I mean being able to sing is good. Just getting on with your job and doing it, and trying to get a vibe going and looking cool.”

He has previously acknowledged Ian Brown’s influence on him as a young person and asked for the money to change his life when he said, “I’m having a bit of that” when I went to see the Stone Roses in 1989 in Manchester.

Liam was also asked about the things he couldn’t live without, and some of these things he will undoubtedly miss whilst on tour, especially his pet. He said: Football, my family, my missus, my kids, my dog. In no particular order by the way. My dog’s called Buttons.”

Liam, a Manchester City fan, recalls wearing one when the former home of Man City, Maine Road, was playing on it on stage, and that he had a few opportunities to praise Burberry for their “good jackets.” He has made no commitment to do so in Cardiff this week, but he did say, “I like the jackets. I actually had a blue check one similar to a Harrington when I first got one when it was in Maine Road, and I still have it.

Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the the start of their sensational reunion tour – which will finally see Noel and Liam Gallagher on stage.

The band could be heard on Monday having rehearsals inside the Principality stadium. The countdown is now on for the first show of the world tour on Friday, with the band having got back together several months ago to begin jamming.

In May, the band’s first images of rehearsals in London were released. Noel Gallagher, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, Gem Archer, and Andy Bell, who will play guitar in the massive sold-out shows, were shown. Andy on bass and Andy on guitar.

Liam joined on June 3 after initially being on vocal rest. Christian Madden, a keyboardist, and Joey Waronker, a drummer, both join the band on drums. He has previously performed on tour with Liam, but never with Oasis.

Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.

Noel, 57, left the Manchester rock band on August 28, 2009, saying he “poised to go on working with Liam a day longer.” The brothers had been making disparaging remarks about one another for more than a decade.

That all changed when the tour was announced in August of last year. The pair exchanged several photos to confirm the band’s long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying, “The great wait is over.

In a new poll released in advance of the band’s eagerly awaited reunion tour this summer, Live Forever by Oasis was named the best British song of all time in April.

Noel and Liam Gallagher’s Manchester band placed 16 incredible tracks in Radio X’s top 100 results. The top 10 also included “Don’t Look Back In Anger,” “Slide Away,” and “Champaign Supernova.” The 10^th annual Best of British, hosted by B&amp and Q poll, was on Radio X.

Steve Contostavlos, Tulisa’s father, passed away, and the N-Dubz singer reacted on social media to pay his respects. She wrote, “Love you pops, rest in peace,” in a picture of her cuddling up to the keyboard player, who went by the name Plato. My father’s daughter always.”

Dappy, her cousin, who lives in N-Dubz with her and Fazer, also paid tribute to Steve by sharing a clip of himself with his uncle on social media with a white dove emoji. Dappy responded to Tulisa with an emoji of her broken heart: “I’m so sorry T.”

Tulisa, the star of I’m A Celeb, discussed her “untraditional relationship” with her father, Steve last year. On Paul Brunson’s podcast We Need to Talk, she stated that her relationship with my father wasn’t always one.

We’re just more friends and kind of have a mutual understanding now, in my opinion.

Steve worked for Mungo Jerry as the keyboardist, and he had a successful musical career. Plato played the keyboard in the 1970s, and Mungo Jerry was largely successful following its number one hit in the summertime.

Bass guitar was played by his brother, Byron, who was Tulisa’s uncle and father of her cousin and fellow N-Dubz star Dappy.

Tulisa previously discussed growing up in a musical family with Fearne Cotton on her Happy Place podcast.

You grew up in a really musical family, Fearne told Tulisa. You sensed that music was important because your mother was a singer and your father was a member of Mungo Jerry.

Tulisa responded, “My dad used to take me there occasionally while he was working. He had a small studio there. At the age of 5, he put me on the microphone. Little Mermaid was what I was singing.

“I was aware that nothing else piqued my interest,” I said. After being repeatedly bullied at school due to her mother’s mental health, Steve once openly discussed how he had taught Tulisa to defend herself.

She was unable to look after herself, let alone her daughter, because her mother, Ann, had schizophrenia, which forced her to go into and out of the hospital. Tulisa was sobbing for days over her mother’s taunts when children in her class started to make fun of her.

He revealed to the Sunday Mirror that he had taught her to stand up for herself. My daughter suffered horrifying bullying. It was terrible. In 2012, he said, “Your mum’s a loony,” and young people would yell at them. Tullisa first appeared at age five, about five. She would always be crying when she returned home.

I ultimately told her, “I can’t go and sort this problem out for you,” You will have to stand up for yourself in this particular situation in life.

She said, “Dad, I knocked one of them out,” after I trained her for about six months when she was seven. Dad, you’re correct; I did it. The suffering that a child experienced at school was unbelievable. It had to be done. She was terrified every time she entered.
