HELLRAISERS’ GIBBERISH

ROCK hellraisers Liam Gallagher and Shane MacGowan have become drinking buddies – but can’t understand a word the other one says.

The pair have been boozing together regularly at the Boogaloo pub in Highgate, north London, famed for its live music and rock royalty clientele.

But punters who have seen the Oasis star and The Pogues frontman together say they just spout boozy monologues at one another as they can’t fathom out each other’s accents.

One regular at the pub – also popular with Pete Doherty and film star Johnny Depp – said: “It’s hilarious to watch the pair of them together. “Shane is still in a wheelchair after he fractured his pelvis a couple of years ago, but Liam is always jumping up and down as he tells his stories. But they aren’t really conversing – they’re just telling their own stories to each other one after the other.

“Shane mumbles something Liam can’t understand, then Liam gets up and starts jumping up and down talking about Oasis and his solo career.

“But it’s clear Shane doesn’t have a clue what Liam’s saying either, because he never interrupts and after a while just starts mumbling again. They really are an odd couple.”

But our source said they “love each other’s company” because they respect each other’s careers and see each other as “mavericks”.

Roll With It singer Liam, 45, and Shane, 59, had a boozing session at the Boogaloo after last month’s Q awards, where Liam picked up Best Live Act and Icon.

The source added: “Liam likes Shane because he regards him as a real survivor and finds it funny he’s still drinking so much.”
