Noel Gallagher thinks his brother Liam has made a ”f***ing mess” of his personal life.
The ‘Ballad of the Mighty I’ singer has urged his brother and former Oasis bandmate to ”cleanse” himself of ”baggage” following the demise of his marriage to Nicole Appleton – who he split from in 2013 after it emerged he had fathered a child with American journalist Liza Ghorbani – and ”start again”.
Discussing the turbulence surrounding Liam – who is now dating his former manager Debbie Gwyther – twice-married Noel said: ”He’s made a f**ing mess of things at the moment but we’ve all been there. I’ve been there.
”Something like that can be a great thing because you get to the bottom and you cleanse yourself of a lot of f***ing s**t baggage and you start again. I’m the kind of person that says, ‘F**k it, take it,’ and I’ll start again. And that would be my advice to him.”
Noel last saw 42-year-old Liam – whose first wife was Patsy Kensit – in May 2014 on the day their beloved soccer team Manchester City won the Premier League and the 47-year-old rocker was not surprised to get into another row with his younger sibling because he is still an ”angry barking dog”.
He added to NME magazine: ”I was in the directors box, obviously, and he was outside selling burgers and one of the directors asked if I wanted to go on the pitch with the team, so I was like, ‘F***ing yeah.’ So I went on the pitch and I said to [captain] Vincent Kompany, ‘Give us your armband.’ And he gave me it.
”I was wearing it in the bar afterwards and I was sitting talking to somebody and someone came up behind me and tried to take the armband off and I was like, ‘F***ing get off of it.’ And it was Liam.
”He was like, ‘F***ing hell man, you knobhead, you shouldn’t have that. I should f***ing have that.’ And that’s how it started. I was like, ‘Oh yeah, alright, and how are you? Every time I see him he is still being a bit of a f***ing cheeky ****. And he’s still putting out the persona of the angry barking dog.”
