Liam Gallagher breaks silence on becoming a grandad after daughter Molly announces pregnancy
Liam Gallagher has broken his silence on becoming a grandad after his daughter Molly announced she was pregnant.
Earlier this week, Molly Moorish-Gallagher, 27, announced she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, the Liverpool football player Nathaniel Phillips, 28.
And her dad, Liam, 52, has just addressed the happy news on social media.
Taking to X on Thursday morning, he simply posted a YouTube clip of the late Clive Dunn's 1970 single Grandad.
The chorus to the song goes: 'Grandad, grandad you're lovely. That's what we all think of you. Grandad, grandad you're lovely. That's what we all think of you.'
Molly confirmed the pregnancy with a series of sweet pictures and videos on Instagram - in the first video, she can be seen cradling her bump alongside her partner.
And already preparing for the tot's arrival, she also shared baby outfits, and a t-shirt which said 'cool mums have cool kids'.
Lisa Moorish, Molly's mum, commented:"Waaaaaaah! Can't wait to be [grandma emoji]."
Molly was born in 1998, following Liam's affair during his marriage to Patsy Kensit - and Liam and Molly met for the first time since she was a toddler in 2018.
The happy news comes just after Liam appeared to hit out at the manager of Oasis's claims that the band will not release new music in the future.
Alec McKinlay, the co-director of management company Ignition who have managed Oasis since 1993, ruled out any chance of the group dropping new tracks or going on another tour further down the line.
'This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press,' he told Music Week on Tuesday on the topic of Oasis's global reunion tour later this summer.
'It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to.'
McKinlay, who is also the director of Oasis's label Big Brother Recordings, added: 'No, there's no plan for any new music.'
Gallagher, 52, shared his disapproval at McKinlay's claims about the 'future' of Oasis in a post on X on Wednesday morning.
A fan said to him on the social media platform: 'Liam I don't know who the manager of Oasis is, but his attitude of telling us that after this tour there will be nothing more was not very biblical.'
The rocker replied: 'Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID so let's just take it 1 day at a time.'

Tracy Moore, 50, says there was a 'little bit of denial' when she started experiencing menopause symptoms: 'Hold on, I'm at that age...'
Less than two months after she was let go from Citytv, Tracy Moore found herself doing yoga in Costa Rica with a group of strangers. What began as an excuse to leave a cold Toronto winter to process a major career change in solitude quickly turned into a bonding experience that celebrated sisterhood, menopause and the idea that mid-life could be the perfect time to start all over again. The 50-year-old television personality is set to appear in a panel talk at the first Women's Healthy Living Show in Toronto this weekend for an unfiltered discussion about women's health. Yahoo Canada spoke to Moore ahead of the event to discuss navigating change, menopause and much more. In February 2025, fans were surprised when Citytv announced it was foregoing plans to create a new hour of Breakfast Television with Moore and Cheryl Hickey at the helm. The decision ended a 20-year relationship between the network and Moore, who had previously served as host of Cityline for 16 years. She addressed the news in a video posted to Instagram that was gracious and measured; it wasn't what you'd expect from someone who had just received career-altering news. Moore said the writing was on the wall when the network decided to cancel Cityline, she just didn't know when that chapter of her career would end.'I had many, many months to wrap my head around a new way of defining myself — and my friends and family did not. The viewers did not...,' she said, adding that the public's reaction to the news was overwhelming. "I was drowning in inertia. It was being bombarded with everyone's reactions. I feel very deeply. I was taking on people's disappointment, people's congratulations, people's anger... I'm wearing it all. I just needed to sit on the couch and let it flow through me. Cry a little bit. Walk a little bit. Do all the things." I realized that there were a lot of people that were invested in my Moore A visit to her parents helped Moore understand the impact of her career; she was a trailblazing figure — the first Black woman to host a daytime talk show in Canada. "I realized that there were a lot of people that were invested in my career. There's aunts, uncles and cousins, and then there's visible minority communities," she said. "There's racialized people that were watching the show because they saw themselves reflected in a daytime show. They saw their people." Her father was the one who suggested she take a trip to get away and "gain some clarity." Moore remembered an invitation she received to Flip Flops and Hot Flashes, a menopause-focused yoga retreat in Costa Rica. She accepted the invitation on one condition: she did not want to have to be "on" for the group. Moore was on a mission to find her centre. She thought she was in need of solitude and peace. She was as the saying in reality TV goes, not here to make friends — even though that's exactly what happened. "I wanted to gaze at beauty — the sky, the trees the water,' she said. 'It turned int this incredibly bonding, beautiful, raw and authentic experience. It was a bonus, over and above anything I was expecting." Menopause and the realities of mid-life are topics Moore embraces discussing with her community of fans and followers. Her own journey with perimenopause began at 47, when she noticed her base temperature rising. "I used to be a cold girlie…I was always cold," she said. "Then all of a sudden I wasn't. It wasn't hot flashes, in general, I was hotter.' ...I thought to myself, 'Hold on, I'm at that age. This could be menopauseTracy Moore Initially, Moore said "there was a little bit of denial" about her symptoms. Although signs of perimenopause vary from person to person, there was one symptom that pushed her to visit her doctor. 'The biggest telltale sign for me was my inability to tamp down irritation," she said. "I'm the calm parent. I'm the patient one…. All of a sudden, I was the one arguing and so I thought to myself, 'Hold on, I'm at that age. This could be menopause.'" Moore began hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for progesterone and estradiol, which she said have helped manage hot flashes and other symptoms. The ability to talk candidly about women's health is something Moore said she had to fight for during her time on Cityline. There was an "unwritten rule" that menopause wasn't meant for daytime television, but a host in perimenopause meant the subject was unavoidable. "It's sort of a new generation and a new vibe," she said. "I think that people were willing to jump in and get into it." The push and pull behind the scenes was something Moore had been living with since she began working in television in 2001. Along the way, Moore said there were many times she had to make compromises and navigate micro-agressions over the way she styled her hair and what stories she wanted to feature. "I had to forgive myself constantly," she said. "I felt the burden of trying to make the show more accessible for more people and not just the Black community, but gay men and non-binary people. Everybody should be able to have a piece of the show and see themselves reflected in some way.... I felt the burden of trying to make the show more accessible for more peopleTracy Moore "Some days I thought to myself that I'm not supposed to be in media, because I think I'm too soft for this industry — and that was the wrong way for me to think. My sensitivity is the reason I was able to operate the way I was and reach the people I was meant to reach." The end of her time at Citytv presented an opportunity for Moore to take inventory of her hopes and goals for the future. She describes it as "divine" timing that she was let go from Citytv the same year she turned 50. In many ways, she's navigating her next steps with more than just her career in mind, it's something deeper. "There is a 'me' that exists outside of — I hate to call it this — but this 'circus' of being in a public-facing role. I have to refine and be 100 per cent sure of what and who I am," she said. "What do I really like? What do I really dislike? What do I actually want to do with my life?" I'm proud of myself, though, for walking myself through thisTracy Moore In addition to re-evaluating what she wants to create, she's also exploring how to participate in content creation without relying on social media for external validation. "I feel like that's always been my journey," she said. "You can't take all of those compliments that people are giving you to heart, because it means you also have to take all of the criticisms and all of the hate and all the vitriol to heart. "It's sometimes been a little bit sad, and it's sometimes been so happy," she said. "I'm proud of myself, though, for walking myself through this."

He's the ham in ‘Ham Jam': Comedic bard B.A. Johnston has new season of show about the Hammer
Paul Osbaldiston … meet B.A. Johnston. Ozzie, the former punter and placekicker for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, is just one Hamilton icon that turns up in the new season of the comedic troubadour's show 'B.A. Johnston's Ham Jam.' Johnston says it was a highlight of the five-episode show that is now playing on Bell Fibe TV 1 and YouTube. Each episode is about 15 minutes. 'I idolized Osbaldiston while I was growing up,' says the 50-year-old west Hamilton resident and entertainer, who will be on a tour this month, playing in bars between Thunder Bay and Vancouver. 'That was a real special one.' I love Hamilton. I could write love letters to Hamilton all the time. B.A. Johnston Other episodes see Johnston going to the 2022 Labour Day Classic, and a special food show where he visits Hutch's on the Beach, Roma Bakery & Deli, Easterbrook's, Grandad's Donuts, the Tally Ho, Black Forest Inn and Shakespeare's fine dining. B.A. Johnston gets shut out of the 2022 Labour Day Classic, despite having a ticket. It is part of an episode on his show 'B.A. Johnston's Ham Jam.' The second season is now running on Bell Fibe/TV 1 and YouTube. He has one sobering episode about gentrification of Hamilton, and the housing problem, but throughout the five episodes there are bursts of his infectious humour and his warmth for the Hammer. The first season featured shows on steel, waterfalls and sub shops. 'I love Hamilton,' Johnston says. 'I could write love letters to Hamilton all the time.' He thought of doing more food shows because 'I'm a food guy. Why don't we talk about Hutch's for six episodes?' In the show, he talks about having an eating challenge, maybe eating 'all this stuff in 24 hours.' His mother, Kim, advises against it. 'I don't think you should be scarfing down a bunch of food,' she says. B.A. Johnston chows down on a roast beef sandwich at the Tally Ho in an episode of his show 'B.A. Johnston's Ham Jam.' The second season is now running on Bell Fibe/TV 1 and YouTube. At another point, he waxes poetically about the Ghostbuster doughnut at Grandad's. 'This is the doughnut I would marry,' he says. 'This is the doughnut I would take to the prom.' It took six years to get the second season of 'Ham Jam' on the small screen. The first season premiered in 2019. The show is directed-produced by Douglas Nayler, co-founder of Quiet Ghost Inc. Johnston said the pandemic played a role in the delay, but there were some family crises and worry of legal action from the Canadian Football League over a cartoon. That latter issue required an episode to be changed. 'I don't know a lot about the TV business, but it takes longer than you think,' he said. 'But, it's out now.' The second season got a premiere in December at the Playhouse Cinema. 'I thought the response was great,' said Johnston. 'My mom said it was better than the first season.' Johnston went to Westdale Secondary School and took philosophy at Trent University in Peterborough. He said it took him seven years to get his degree 'but I did finish it.' B.A. Johnston is his stage name and he likes to say he uses that because his name is Bryan Adams Johnston. Of course, there is 65-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter Bryan Adams. 'He's a little older than me,' says Johnston. 'He got the jump on me.' He joked his entry into music was 'spite driven.' He started learning how to play the guitar in the last year of high school. 'No one would let me in their band, so I thought I'd have my own band,' he said. He was a regular at the former This Ain't Hollywood, but also played the old Underground, Pepper Jack Café and the Casbah Lounge. He has 14 albums and been nominated for two Polaris Prizes given to Canadian albums — in 2015 and 2017. His last album was titled 'Argos Suck.' Comic singer B.A. Johnston's second season of 'B.A. Johnston's Ham Jam' featured two episodes on his beloved Hamilton Tiger-Cats. One featured him being shut out of the 2022 Labour Day Classic, despite having a ticket. Johnston doesn't foresee a third season of 'Ham Jam.' 'There's more stories to tell, but I think that's the end of 'Ham Jam,'' he said. He's on the road a lot. He drives to his gigs, which he doesn't really enjoy. This month, he will be playing in places such as Winnipeg and Lethbridge. 'I like playing music,' Johnston says. 'I don't like driving to Wawa.'
