Noel Gallagher says he's 'never been so embarrassed for another man' than watching Liam at Glastonbury

It doesn't look as though a reunion will happen anytime soon

Noel Gallagher has unleashed a wave of vitriol towards his brother Liam in a new interview, where he mocked the younger Gallagher’s singing ability and condemned his behaviour towards his wife and daughter.

Speaking to The Guardian ahead of the release of his new EP, which is released in September, Noel mocked Liam’s Glastonbury performance and later brought up the controversy around Liam allegedly texting threatening messages to Noel’s teenage daughter, Anaïs.

Liam issued an apology in July after it was claimed he told Anaïs that her step mother Sarah McDonald should be “very careful” after she mocked Liam’s Glastonbury performance on Instagram.

In response to Liam’s initial comment, Noel wrote: “So you’re sending threatening messages via my teenage daughter, are you now? You were always good at intimidating women though, eh?”

“My sincere apologies to my beautiful mum Peggy and my lovely niece Anais for getting caught up in all of this childish behaviour I love you both dearly LG x,” Liam later tweeted.

“That’s not the first time he’s sent texts to my daughter, or left threatening phone calls on my wife’s answering machine,” Noel said in the interview. “So when he’s threatening my wife via my teenage daughter, I’m thinking, you know, if you weren’t a rock star, if you were just an uncle who worked in a garage, you’d be getting a visit from the police. But because you’re a rockstar, wahey, you get away with that s**t.”

He said this was why he believes his and Liam’s relationship has gone past the point of being salvaged: “Once you start texting my children – and his two sons have been going for her, too – and legitimise my wife being bullied on the internet, where she has to shut down Instagram accounts because of the vile shit being written about her and my daughter, then it ain’t happening.”

Of Liam’s Glastonbury performance, Noel said: “I don’t think I’ve ever been so embarrassed for a man in my entire life. He’s pulled off the incredible magic trick of making those Oasis songs sound weedy and thin. And he looked like he was having the worst day of his life, walking around in what looks like a pair of my son’s pyjamas, shouting into a mic about some perceived injustice ... if you can’t sing ’em, don’t play ’em!”

The Independent has contacted Liam's representative for comment.
