Liam Gallagher explodes as Oasis fans branded 'fat, drunk and lairy'
Liam Gallagher has leapt to the defence of Oasis fans after Edinburgh Council officials were reportedly less than complimentary about them
Liam Gallagher has hit back at a local council after they reportedly branded Oasis fans 'fat, drunk, lairy and old' ahead of the band's much-anticipated comeback reunion tour, which kicks off later this year.
The indie frontman took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to have his say on what some Edinburgh Council officials had allegedly said in safety briefings, as Oasis are set to play three sell-out gigs at the 67,000 capacity Murrayfield Stadium in Scotland's capital city in August.
According to reports, leaked council papers said some punters at the shows will mainly be "middle-aged men" who "take up more room:" They were also said to be concerned acts could pull out of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which also takes place in August, due to possible clashes with 'rowdy' Oasis fans heading to gigs nearby.
In an outburst on social media, a fuming Liam ranted: "To the Edinburgh council, I've heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude f***ing stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot." He then added: "I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council, bet there's some real STUNNING individuals."
Outraged Oasis fans were quick to comment underneath with one writing: "Good on you for calling this out Liam." Another said: "Thanks for standing up to this lot!" A third commented: "Well said." A fourth joked: "Little do they know oasis fans are actually sexy, sober and well-behaved."
Stating there will be lots of younger fans too, a fourth said: "Just trying to get gossip spreading and s**t stirring for the Oasis reunion. They have nothing better to do than to try and be hateful. So many youngsters will be attending." While a fifth pointed out: "Absolutely ridiculous comments from @Edinburgh_CC. When Liam did Knebworth solo, it was a brilliant, relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with parents bringing their kids along. Rugby fans at Murrayfield cause more drunken trouble than a music-loving Oasis crowd ever could."
Other said the band should move their gigs to Glasgow instead in retaliation if they aren't welcome in Edinburgh. One fan posted: "Move it to Glasgow, its a 2nd home for you @liamgallagher." Another wrote: "You should have played Glasgow Liam. I saw Oasis twice in 4 weeks in 2000, Murrayfield and Glasgow Green – and the Glasgow Green Crowd were well and truly mad for it."
The Sun reported secret planning briefings from Edinburgh Council warned: "Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend. There is concern about crowds... as they are already rowdy... and the tone of the band.'
In an apparent dig at the weight of punters set to descend on Edinburgh for the iconic gigs, it added: "Middle-aged men take up more room. Consider this when working out occupancy."
Officials are also said to expect "medium to high intoxication" from fans attending the gigs on the 8, 9 and 12 of August. The Mirror has contacted Edinburgh Council for further comment on this story.
The legendary Manchester-based band will be on stage together for the first time in 16 years next month for their mammoth Oasis Live '25 tour. It comes as previously warring brothers Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, patched up their differences to get the band back together last year.
After almost two decades of arguing, the brothers left fans in a state of disbelief when they announced their sensational return – almost 15 years to the day of their split in August 2009.
In just a matter of weeks, they will take to the stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4 for their first comeback show. This will be followed by a string of homecoming gigs in their native Manchester at Heaton Park and London's Wembley Stadium. They then play Edinburgh and Dublin before turning it into a world tour with dates in Chicago, Mexico, Tokyo, Melbourne, Sydney and Sao Paulo.
Though things appear to be fine between the brothers now, Liam recently opened up to reveal what his one major regret about the band was. A fan asked him on social media: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?" Liam responded: "You know what it's spiritual, but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time."
But could fans see the once-warring brothers again after their upcoming tour? Replying to a fan, Liam teased: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it."

Sabrina Carpenter fans baffled as they learn of her very famous family member
Sabrina Carpenter's fans were shocked to discover the Espresso singer, 26, has a very famous voice actor as an aunt Sabrina Carpenter's fans were in shock after they learned of the singer's famous family member. The 26-year-old Espresso singer has been the ultimate Pop girl in the last few years with her clever lyrics and visually appealing performances. However, she's not the only talented person in her family. Her aunt is none other than Nancy Cartwright, who is best known for voicing Bart Simpson in The Simpson. The 67-year-old voice actor has been the voice behind troublemaker Bart for over 30 years, and also voices Maggie Simpson, Ralph Wiggum, Todd Flanders, and Nelson Muntz. Nancy is also the voice of Chuckie Finster in Rugrats and its spin-off All Grown Up! She also had roles in Alvin and the Chipmunks, Pound Puppies, Fantastic Max, Goof Troop, Crashbox and Betsy's Kindergarten Adventure. Sabrina's father, David Carpenter, is Nancy's step-brother, with some of Sabrina's fans only just learning about the family connection. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one amazed user commented: "Interesting side note for those who don't know. Sabrina Carpenter's Aunt is Nancy Cartwright... Aka Bart Simpson." Another answered: "I did not know that!" One shocked fan said: "Just found out that the voice of Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright) is not only a Scientologist but also Sabrina Carpenter's aunt??" One added: "How the f*** am I just finding out Sabrina Carpenter is Nancy Cartwright's niece?" Sabrina has previously talked about the love she has for her aunt. In an interview with Captial FM, she explained: "My whole life, that was just like the coolest thing in the world to me. I wasn't even allowed to watch the show until I was a little bit older! "The woman is a woman of many talents, not just Bart. She always blows me away." She went on to recall how Nancy would use the voice during family dinners at restaurants. "When we were in a restaurant, she didn't do it all the time, but there were a couple of times when we couldn't get a table and she'd be like, 'Hey, man, I'm Bart Simpson. What the hell's going on?'" Sabrina said. Nancy even spoke about having Sabrina as her niece. Nancy once said: "Yeah, absolutely. Isn't that amazing when you find out that somebody that maybe... "You've known me for a little while doing this little 10 year old boy for, like, 35 some years. And for some of you guys, way less than that. And you find out I'm related to this, like, superstar!"

‘Mean' Liam Gallagher branded top BBC DJ a ‘c**t' leaving him ‘floored' as pair's secret feud revealed

'They were absolutely huge at the time and renowned for being outspoken. Their radio plugger took me over to Liam and said, 'You remember Scott, don't you? You've met him before'. Liam looked me up and down and went, 'Yeah, he's a c***'.' Reflecting on it now, Scott hopes Liam's behaviour was just a sign of the times, when almost all stars were a nightmare to deal with. In an exclusive chat, he said: 'The Liam Gallagher thing really floored me at the time, because I think it was, like, my second week at Top Of The Pops. 'I think he's completely changed. I actually think I am completely changed, but I think he's probably a nicer man now. 'In the Nineties, it was the thing to be mean. All pop stars now are pretty nice. When I joined Radio 1 in '98, a lot were horrible because that was the thing to do. It doesn't happen any more. 'I can't remember the last time I had an interview that was horrible, or that was hard work. Back then, I used to go down to Top Of The Pops and do the interviews every Thursday. Often, I would be like, 'That was really hard work', or, 'I didn't enjoy that because they were awkward or difficult, or just a bit unpleasant'.' But I suspect that Edinburgh Council bosses will be seeing more of Liam's unpleasant side if his messages on X yesterday are anything to go by.
