Liam’s fury as Noel sipped on rosé at sea while he sang for Manchester
LIAM Gallagher won plaudits for his performance at Sunday’s One Love Manchester concert. But yesterday the former Oasis frontman took his brother Noel to task for not flying home to England for the charity gig.
Singer-songwriter Noel, right, sipped rosé and sunbathed on a speedboat as he and his family enjoyed a holiday in Italy.
The brothers had formed part of Oasis, the Nineties band whose song Don’t Look Back In Anger was adopted as an anthem by grieving Manchester residents in the wake of the May 22 bomb attack at an Ariana Grande concert.
And on Sunday night, at the concert organised at short notice by Ms Grande, Liam Gallagher, now a solo artist, took to the stage after flying home from Germany.
Speculation had swirled for days before the gig that the brothers, would reunite after decades of spats. In the event, Liam, right, sang Oasis’s 1994 hit Live Forever, while the band’s Don’t Look Back In Anger was sung by Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
In the hours after the concert, Liam tweeted: ‘Manchester id like to apologise for my brother’s absence last night very disappointed stay beautiful stay safe LG.’ He later added: ‘Noels out of the f ****** country, weren’t we all love, get on a f ****** plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f***.’
Noel, 50, enjoyed a boat trip with his wife Sara MacDonald, 45, on Sunday as the couple made the most of their stay on the Amalfi Coast. A spokesman for the rocker confirmed before the One Love concert that he would not be performing due to a ‘long-standing family trip’. Noel has two sons Sonny, six, and Donovan, nine, with Ms MacDonald, as well as daughter Anais, 17, with first wife Meg Matthews. His brother has a 15year-old son Gene with All Saints star Nicole Appleton. In 2014, he was found to have fathered a child with a US journalist. Liam, 44, left, also has a son, Lennon, 17, from his marriage to Patsy Kensit and a daughter, Molly, 20, who was born during an affair with singer Lisa Moorish.
