The golden boy of the Britpop era: Who is Liam Gallagher?

He started his music career with the band The Rain, which he founded with his school friends. Later, when his older brother Noel Gallagher joined the band, the band took the name Oasis. Oasis disbanded when Noel Gallagher left the band in 2009.

Liam Gallagher (born William John Paul Gallagher, 21 September 1972, Manchester) is the leader of the band Beady Eye and the vocalist of the disbanded band Oasis.

After Oasis disbanded, he founded the band Beady Eye with his former band members. He said that the new band would continue the same style of music as Oasis, but could do better.

Noel Gallagher wrote the songs in Oasis, but as Liam often says, it was none other than Liam who gave identity to those songs with his vocals.

Liam Gallagher's debut album was 'As You Were' in 2017. Liam Gallagher returned from the highest pitch he could. He was divorced twice, closed down two bands, even considered quitting music after that, and then came back.

William John Paul Gallagher (born 21 September 1972), commonly known as Liam Gallagher, is an English singer and songwriter. He achieved fame as the lead vocalist of the rock band Oasis from 1991 to 2009, and later fronted the rock band Beady Eye from 2009 to 2014, before starting a successful solo career in 2017. Oasis had various line-up changes, and Gallagher and his elder brother Noel were the only constant members. One of the most recognisable figures in British rock music, Gallagher is noted for his distinctive vocal style and outspoken, arrogant, and volatile personality.

'As You Were' was undoubtedly the classiest step taken by Liam Gallagher after the major band Oasis, which he created with his brother Noel Gallagher and disbanded in 2009. We are talking about an album whose preparation process took exactly two years. Liam Gallagher was completely alone in production. Even when creating the lineup for the instruments, he did not choose to get support from famous names. He wanted to respond to Noel's words, "The whole world knows he's a great vocalist, but the songs he writes are sh*t."

He wrote the songs himself. A large team of producers, led by Greg Kurstin, was right by Liam's side to map out the recording route. When the first video from the content, 'Wall of Glass', was released on May 31, 2017, almost everyone who followed the Oasis era closely was aware that this time, Liam had caught the wind of the 90s.

All these classy steps had to have a reward, and they did. The album remained at number one on the British music charts for weeks. Liam has received invitations to perform at all major festivals in Continental Europe, including Glastonbury. A special TV promotional tour was planned for the United States and continued for months. Then stadium concerts were held in Mexico and Latin American countries.

About Oasis

Oasis is an English rock band from Manchester, formed in 1991. The band was originally formed as The Rain by Liam Gallagher (vocals and tambourine), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (guitar), Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass guitar) and Tony McCarroll (drums, percussion). Later, the band's name became Oasis, with the participation of Liam's older brother Noel Gallagher (guitar and vocals).

Brothers Noel Gallagher (guitarist/lead singer, songwriter) and Liam Gallagher (lead singer), the backbone of the band, have continued their journey despite many drummer and bassist changes and various disagreements among themselves over the years. Even though their comrades Blur and Radiohead have made sharp style changes and taken their music out of the Brit Rock boundaries, Oasis is still known as a Brit Rock/Pop band.

Oasis has always managed to stay on the agenda with its hit songs with catchy melodies and their "sex, drugs & rock'n'roll" lifestyle. The band's teasing of other bands (such as Blur) is always a source of material, especially for the British press. However, as a result of a violent disagreement between Noel and Liam in October 2009, the brothers refused to work together and the band disbanded.
