PLAYING KNEBWORTH

“I swear to God, I cannot remember much about it. What was I doing the night before? Being fucking brilliant, probably. I remember after the first night getting absolutely fucking wankered, and then forgetting the next day, like: ‘What, I’ve gotta do it again?’ I’d only brought enough clothes for one night. I wore the white jacket on the first night, but the big jumper on the second night is fucking Patsy’s [Kensit, Liam’s then-wife]. I was going, ‘I can’t wear the white jacket again!’ and she had this big jumper on. I went, ‘Give us that here,’ blow-dried me fucking hair, got on with it. I don’t think I even looked at the support bands, I just stayed backstage fucking about. We were all in these caravans. I remember The Prodigy being on and it was just shaking, and sticking my head out the door going, ‘Who the fuck has put this lot on?’ I’d heard [guest guitarist, The Stone Roses’] John Squire had this cool Winnebago, so I was trying to find that. Someone said it was covered in velvet, like a Jimi Hendrix vibe. I was like, ‘Why I am in this fucking white thing, then?’”
