Liam Gallagher brands brother Noel a ‘fake’

Washington: Oasis star Liam Gallagher has branded his brother and former bandmate Noel a ‘fake’ after he walked out of the group.

In an interview with London`s Evening Standard, the singer launched a furious broadside against his sibling, insisting Noel`s friendship with funnyman Russell Brand took the edge off the guitarist`s rock `n` roll attitude. And Liam is adamant his brother used their backstage bust-up at a festival in Paris, France earlier this year (09) as an excuse to leave the band. "It wasn`t a big thing for me. I`ve had bigger arguments with me (sic) toenails, you know what I mean? I think he just wanted out. He`d had enough of this lad thing, and he wants to try something new, and it`s not having a dig at him, but I just think he`s sort of turned himself into a f**king fake,” Contactmusic quoted Liam as saying. "You don`t have 18 years of giving it all this, and then wash your hands of it and start going out with Russell Brand and all these new pals," he added. ANI
