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 10th annual Best of British, hosted by B& and Q poll, was on Radio X.
