Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher (born 21 September 1972 in Manchester, England) rose to fame as the frontman of Britpop band Oasis. During his tenure with the band, his well-publicised spats with his brother Noel Gallagher ensured he was rarely out of the tabloid press. After the demise of Oasis in 2009, he launched Beady Eye, a band formed with former members of Oasis. They disbanded in 2014 after having two hit albums, both of which made the top five in the UK Album Charts. He played an impromptu gig at a small Irish pub in County Mayo in 2015. Although he rebuked comments at the time that it was a launch of a solo career, there soon came an announcement that he was working on a solo album. In May 2017 he released his debut solo single "Wall of Glass" and the following month came his solo album titled As You Were, which hit number one in the UK and Ireland and reached platinum sales in the UK. In 2019 documentary As It Was put the spotlight on his solo career and his attempts to forge his own path. Also in 2019 arrived the singles "Shockwave" and "The River" taken from his second album Why Me? Why Not. released in September of the same year. C'mon You Know, the third solo album from Liam Gallagher, landed in May 2022 and gave him his first UK Top 20 single in "Everything's Electric," which was co-written by Dave Grohl. For his next full-length effort, he teamed up with another UK indie stalwart, former Stone Roses co-founder and guitarist John Squire. In March 2024, the pair released collaborative album Liam Gallagher & John Squire via Warner Music UK, which was notably the first helping of original material from John Squire under his own name in two decades.
