Liam Gallagher stars alongside his three children, Cara Delevingne and Alexa Chung in Burberry's festival-inspired campaign - just weeks ahead of Oasis's long awaited reunion
Liam Gallagher harked back to his younger Burberry-clad Oasis days as he posed with his three children for the designer brand's star-studded new summer campaign.
Having reportedly signed a £1million deal with Burberry ahead of Oasis's much-anticipated reunion in a few weeks, the rock star, 52, featured in the campaign alongside Cara Delevingne, 32, and Alexa Chung, 41.
The luxury designer's promotion shoot is centered around festival season and - with Glastonbury just weeks away - sees its stars clad in wellies and trench coats while braving the British rain.
Posing outside of a truck backstage with his three children, Gene, 23, Molly, 27, and Lennon, 25, Liam cut a typically stylish figure in his own signature Burberry parka coat.
Having initially released in the summer of 2018, the Christopher Bailey designed jacket is set to be re-released this July to coincide with Oasis's return.

Sporting haircuts clearly inspired by Liam's iconic noughties trim, Lennon and Gene pose either side of their father in designer jackets while their sister Molly emulates Liam in a classic trench coat.
Cara Delevingne - who has starred in many a Burberry campaign - is once again front and centre for the brand, this time donning a pair of designer wellies and a black dress.
The Suicide Squad actress made sure she got well and truly in the festival spirit for the shoot as she was pictured playfully laying in the mud in her lavish outfit.
She too posed in a Burberry skirt with a matching bag, looking as sensational as ever while being ferried around the festival grounds in a buggy.
Having stunned in a glamorous black dress at Cannes a couple of weeks ago, Alexa Chung rocked a very different look for the Burberry Festival shoot.
The model first features while sporting a summery pink dress with some muddy wellies before slipping into a bikini and a pair of shorts for a later photo.
Burberry's latest campaign also features a host of other famous names from the worlds of music and fashion, with Loyle Carner, Chy Cartier, Goldie, John Glacier and Seungmin included.
Liam Gallagher and Burberry have become almost synonymous with each other over the years, with the Live Forever hitmaker regularly pictured in their garments.
Indeed, during the 1990s - when Oasis first took the music industry by storm - the star was often seen sporting Burberry on stage.
Liam has since inspired his son Lennon's love of both of fashion and Burberry, with the 25-year-old starring in multiple campaigns previously.
The release of the new Gallagher-inspired Burberry collection comes on the same week that the Manchester-born brothers reunited to perform together for the first time in 16 years.
After splitting in 2009 following a huge row before a Paris show, Liam and Noel are beginning rehearsals in London ready for the band's reunion tour this summer.
The Oasis Live 25 tour is now less than a month away with the brothers officially reuniting on stage at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4.
On Thursday, both Liam and Noel were pictured arriving at a secret London studio to begin rehearsals.
In typical Liam style, the singer made a chaotic entrance to rehearsals, arriving in a van laden with Lockets and cough syrup, suggesting his vocal cords were in need of some TLC.
Don't Look Back in Anger singer Noel was seen waiting for a District Line tube at Paddington station earlier in the day, but while it is no doubt a momentous occasion for fans, the 58-year-old struggled to muster up a smile.
Liam recently shared his excitement about rejoining the band as he answered a plethora of fan questions on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday morning.
One fan asked: 'Happy sunday man! Are you ready for rehearsals? there are only a few days left and you're joining the others?'
To which the singer replied: 'Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds.'
Another asked whether he was 'excited' to begin rehearsals, with Liam responding: 'Can't wait'.
Meanwhile, Liam further confirmed he was joining rehearsals after a different fan commented: 'How long will your rehearsal day be? Will u breeze in & breeze out quickly?'
With the rocker remarking: 'I'll sing the set then I'm out there I don't hang about.'
The Morning Glory singer also told how he was feeling 'biblical' and would not hang around to take photos as he noted: 'You won't see me I'm not a poser, I'll be in and out.'
In April it was reported that Noel had kicked off rehearsals for the hotly-anticipated Oasis comeback tour in the summer.
Just months away from their on stage reunion, Liam was said to be prioritising 'rest' instead of getting back in the studio with his brother.
A source close to Noel told The Mirror: 'Noel is often in and out of the studio working on things, he is a singer songwriter so it's only natural.
'But Liam is a singer and he has a long list of dates ahead of him with Oasis this year so he will not be overdoing rehearsals. After a big solo Definitely Maybe tour your last year, the main thing his voice needs at the moment is rest.'
After playing dates across Britain, the band will later head to Japan, Argentina, the United States and Brazil for further shows.
It comes as the truth behind Noel and Liam's reconciliation and subsequent Oasis reunion has been revealed.
According to reports, fans of the band have Noel's daughter Anais to thank for the long-awaited reunion tour.
The model, 25, is said to have helped bring the estranged siblings back together after 'planting the idea' of a reconciliation.
Anais is also said to have helped piece together the set list and give an insight into what younger fans might want to hear.
According to The Sun, a source said: 'Anais could tell her dad really wanted both his brothers, Liam and Paul, by his side after the split so was determined to get them back in touch.'
They continued: 'She gets on great with Liam's sons Gene and Lennon so she asked them if their dad would be willing to hear her out.
They have this week began rehearsals for the upcoming tour, with the pair pictured arriving at a secret London studio on Thursday
'It enabled her to plant the idea of a reconciliation on both sides. Thanks to her close relationship with Liam, she was able to call him. Once Liam called Noel, the rest was left up to them.'
Anais has frequently been seen with her cousins Molly, Lennon, and Gene with them often attending events together.
Molly's mother is Lisa Moorish, who Liam had a brief relationship with while he was married to Patsy Kensit in 1998.
Liam did not meet Molly until 2018 after which he expressed hope he would remain in her life.
Liam shares Lennon, 25, with ex Patsy Kensit, and Gene, 23, whose mother is Nicole Appleton who he dated following his divorce from Patsy in 2000.

M&S food sales growth collapses after cyber attack
Rapid growth at Marks & Spencer's food business has ground to a halt after the retailer was struck by a devastating cyber attack that left shelves empty. New figures seen by The Telegraph show that spending in M&S's food halls rose by 0.8pc in the four weeks to May 17 compared with a year earlier. The data covered a period when the retailer was in the initial throes of the hack. It marks a major slowdown from the rampant growth experienced by the retailer over the past year. According to the unpublished figures from analysts at NIQ, grocery spending at M&S had been up by 11pc in the 12 months to May 17. It has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing supermarkets in recent months. The NIQ data showed M&S sold fewer items in the four weeks to May 17 compared with the same period last year and its market share slipped to 3.3pc, compared with 3.6pc in the year as a whole. M&S slipped below Waitrose in the ranks of the largest grocers as a result, having overtaken the retailer for the first time in November. Previous figures had suggested M&S had escaped a major hit from the cyber attack. Separate data from Kantar recently suggested that M&S grocery sales rose by 8pc in the four weeks to May 18 and by 12.3pc in the 12 weeks to the same date. Kantar uses a different methodology, which does not include grocery sales from delivery apps such as Deliveroo. The NIQ survey data shed fresh light on the effect of the cyber attack that has crippled M&S. M&S was forced to halt online orders in mid-April after being struck by a cyber incident, which also disrupted food deliveries into stores. It led to gaps on shelves and forced the retailer to pause some offers in some stores. The attack has been blamed on criminal gang Scattered Spider. Stuart Machin, M&S's chief executive, was reportedly directly contacted by the hackers, with an abuse-filled email seen by the BBC allegedly showing hackers gloated about the attack. M&S declined to comment on the report. Seven weeks after the company disclosed the attack, it is still battling to bring its IT systems back online. M&S has not yet brought back online orders, with disruption expected to continue until July. The retailer has already admitted that the attack will knock an estimated £300m off its profits this year, dealing a setback to Mr Machin's efforts to rapidly grow the retailer. Clive Black, an analyst at Shore Capital, said the hit to food sales was to be 'wholly expected post the cyber incident, when considerable disruption to store operations was evident, meaning lots of gaps at time, famine and feast in terms of product coming into stores managed by manual rather than automated processes'. However, he suggested M&S was likely to experience a 'robust bounce back' once the IT issues were resolved. Richard Hyman, a partner at Aria Intelligent Solutions, added: 'If there was ever a good time for this to happen to M&S, it's now when they're in a position of strength. If this had happened several years ago, I think that one would be much more worried about them.' A spokesman for M&S said: 'We have made good progress in growing our food business and gaining market share over the long term. The most recent Kantar report shows market share growth of over 12pc, which is ahead of the market and underlines our resilience. 'Our stores are back to normal for our customers and have been for some time. We are getting on with providing the best quality products and service for our customers. In fact, just this week, we have launched 100 new or upgraded M&S Food products for summer.'

‘We want it' – Sadiq Khan tells WWE legend Triple H to bring WrestleMania to London for first time ever
LONDON MAYOR Sadiq Khan continues to push WWE to bring WrestleMania to the British capital. British WWE fans have been wanting professional wrestling's biggest show to come to the UK for decades. 3 3 3 And Khan, 54, is working rigorously to bring Mania outside of North America for the first time in the show's 40-plus-year history. The UK has some of the most hardcore WWE fans around the world and London has hosted a series of major premium live events, including Money in the Bank in 2023 and SummerSlam in 1992. The mayor wants to make the pro wrestling enthusiasts' dream a reality and has held talks with WWE chief content officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque, who previously suggested he is open to the prospect. And he made one more major call to Triple H urging him to bring the Show of Shows across the Pond to the "sporting capital". London has hosted a number of major sporting events throughout the years, including Champions League finals, NFL matches and of course the 2012 Olympics. Khan told CNBC: "I'd love for WrestleMania to come to London. "Triple H if you're watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London. "If WrestleMania came to London, my message to the team there is that we wouldn't just have a great weekend, we'd have a festival, of you know, legends in WrestleMania coming to London, current stars, but also future stars as a well. "It will open a completely new market for them as well. "I think the potential has not been reached in terms of WrestleMania. "We are the sporting capital, in my view, of the world. And if WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London."
