Liam Gallagher makes controversial drug reference as he plays up to the cameras after being caught on film entering a portaloo backstage at Oasis reunion show
The musician, 52, was caught on camera by a sneaky fan as he headed inside, but catching the lens the star made it known he had been seen as he mimed a drug reference.
Pointing inside the cubicle he then alluded to taking cocaine before he headed inside.
Reposting the video the fan wrote: 'Liam Gallagher knew he was being watched heading into the backstage toilets and of course he does this'.
At the height of the band's Britpop career Liam was known for his party lifestyle fuelled by of drinking and drug taking.
However the star has left his wild antics behind and now priorities his well being with his 'health trip' seeing him cutting back on booze and stop drug taking.
He previously told The Sun: 'You've got to undo all the bad work you've done through f***ing getting off your head and all that.
'It's time to undo it all now and get back to reality. All that stuff that you thought was cool in the early days . . . it's time to get healthy.'
'As you get older, life is precious, do you know what I mean? I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky guy. I love waking up early in the morning.'
Meanwhile it was also revealed Liam has been drinking apple cider vinegar on the Oasis tour after vowing to ditch the booze.
Before the reunion gigs kicked off, Liam vowed to cut alcohol out his diet to keep his voice in check for the stage.
After years of drinking heavily on tour in the nineties, Liam prefers a glass of the soft drink.
Liam has previously spoke about his love for apple cider vinegar and honey and how it helps his voice.
He said: 'I drink a lot of funky drinks. I have this apple cider vinegar, the one that everyone bangs on about.
'So I have vinegar, some honey and then I have some turmeric, some cayenne pepper, a squirt of lemon, hot water, stir it round and drink it.
'It's really good for when you get a hoarse voice. I've got a thyroid problem – Hashimoto's disease – so I can get a really hoarse voice.'
In 2023 Liam revealed that he needed the joints replacing in his hip due to arthritis as a result of a longstanding thyroid problem. He then underwent a major hip operation.
Before that in 2017 he was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition of the thyroid gland. In addition he also suffers with the skin condition psoriasis.
Speaking about his hip issues in 2023 he said: 'My hips are f***ed, I've got arthritis, bad.
'I went to get it checked out and my bones are mashed up. The lady was going, 'Oh, you might need a hip operation, a replacement.''
He said at the time he didn't want the operation because of the 'stigma'.
'I think I'd rather just be in pain. Which is ridiculous, obviously. I know that. Just get them fixed. But it's the stigma, saying you've had your hips replaced. What's next?'
Taking to social media he penned: 'Morning Rastas so I had my Hip operation last wk all went well and RESPEK to all the doctors n nurses who looked after me Big shout out to the A team for getting us home safe n sound'
He told MoJo magazine: 'When the weather's cold, my hips are like snap, crackle and pop. I need warmth.
'I can't sleep at night for the pain. Tossing and turning. So I'm on herbal sleeping tablets and they've saved my life. One of them, seven hours out, no pain, nothing.
'My new thing is Deep Heat. Caked myself in it on the knees and hips, the calves, then into the steam room for as long as I can handle it.'
Liam, a keen jogger, was told by doctors to run less to help manage the condition.
In the interview he also spoke about his psoriasis, saying he once met a fan who thought he had cocaine in his hair - but it was actually bits of skin from his itchy scalp.
He said: 'I've got psoriasis, so I had obviously been scratching it during the day and there were little white bits and s**t. They were taking it out of my hair and putting it on their gums and putting it up their f***ing nose!'
Taking to Twitter last February he said of having his hip operation: 'Morning Rastas so I had my Hip operation last wk [week] all went well and RESPEK [respect] to all the doctors n nurses who looked after me Big shout out to the A team for getting us home safe n sound.
'You know who you are and Florence guru I love and adore you Riverdance here I come LG x'.

Love Island star Yasmin Pettet is left heartbroken as she reveals her beloved cat Miaow Miaow has died following cancer battle
Love Island finalist Yasmin Pettet has revealed her beloved cat Miaow Miaow has sadly died from cancer. The reality star, 24, often spoke lovingly about her pet during her time in the villa, but heartbreakingly, Miaow Miaow passed away from cancer at the age of 11 while Yasmin was still filming the show. Announcing the news on Instagram on Wednesday evening, Yasmin wrote: 'As I've spoken about her on the show I'm sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who's been by my side for 11 years now. She continued: 'When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off. 'Rightfully they didn't tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island. 'I'm trying to be as active as I can be on socials but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak. She concluded the heartbreaking post: 'RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul.' Yasmin, who came in third place with her partner Jamie Rhodes, 26, returned to social media earlier today to thank fans for their support throughout her journey. She said: 'My love island journey has been crazy to say the least but I really wouldn't have been able to do it without my Jamie, Toni and Shakira. 'I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds.' Jamie, who affectionately describes Yasmin as having 'black cat energy', praised her now that they're back home, writing: 'Absolutely smashed it, wouldn't want to do the journey with anyone else.' It comes after ITV released the voting breakdown for the final, confirming it was the closest result in the show's history. In total, Toni and Cach received 33.5% of the vote, with Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley taking 26.2% - showing the result was a close call. Yasmin and Jamie came third with 22% and Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood placed fourth with 18.3%. Toni and Cach won despite the bookies' odds revealing it was Harry and Shakira in the running to win, just hours ahead of the live final. And fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations. They penned: 'Justice served well done Toni & Cach .. what a gentleman man he is'; 'Congratulations Toni and cach. First American and she won. Iconic moves'; 'a bombshell + a casa boy winning love island - iconic!'; 'Love island didn't disappoint with Cach & Toni winning'; 'Toni was her true authentic self'; 'Amazing winners - hats off to the producers for an elite season of #loveisland'. But it looks like Toni and Cach may be spending even more time together in front of the camera, as ITV are reportedly planning to offer the couple a spin-off show chronicling their long-distance relationship, according to The Sun.

Oasis gave most ‘ground-shaking' performance of last 20 years
The Gallagher brothers' last Scottish gig has topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. The June 2009 Oasis gig beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year – when measuring the peak earthshaking power of each event. The measurements were taken from a nearby seismic monitoring station, some 4km from the venue. At peak power of 215.06Kw, the Oasis gig was more than twice as powerful as the next strongest one by the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 106.87Kw. The rankings were revealed ahead of Oasis's comeback tour arriving in the Scottish capital this weekend – meaning there could be another 'shakermaker'. The power output is not related to the volume of the band or the crowd, rather it is the movement of fans jumping and dancing in time to the music, with the height of the jumping and weight of the crowd also potential factors. The Oasis reunion tour is set to arrive in Scotland (PA) It means the current cohort of Oasis fans' seismic output could perhaps be compared to those of previous years. BGS seismologist Callum Harrison said: 'In 2009, seismic signals generated by Oasis fans were consistent with a crowd energy of 215kW at its peak – enough to power around 30 of the scooters featured on the iconic Be Here Now album cover. 'Our network of sensors around the country is sensitive enough to pick up ground movement from a source miles away that may not be detectable to humans – and precise enough to register exact timestamps for when the events occur. 'The peak energy reading was recorded around 8.30pm on that June evening back in 2009, which correlates to the time the band first took the stage and performed Rock 'N' Roll Star, which couldn't be more fitting in terms of topping our seismic music chart.' The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. Mr Harrison added: 'In this instance we are only looking back over 20 years, however geological processes occur over vast time scales that can be difficult for humans to comprehend. 'Improving our understanding of historical earthquakes is an important part of BGS research in trying to understand and mitigate the seismic risk around the country.' Ahead of the sold-out gigs at Murrayfield, which begin on Friday, Mr Harrison said it is 'certainly possible' they could top the previous gig's output in 2009, adding: 'We'll just have to wait and see.' He said: 'The main contributing factors are going to be how energetic the crowd is. 'If they're jumping along with the music, how high or how fast are they jumping?'

Kelsey Parker reveals she is taking 'each day as it comes' as she speaks out on losing her third child
Kelsey Parker has revealed she is taking 'each day as it comes' as she opens up for the first time about the loss of her baby Phoenix. The podcaster, 34, suffered heartbreak in June after her son Phoenix - her first child with boyfriend Will Lindsay - was 'born sleeping.' Kelsey was previously married to The Wanted singer Tom Parker who died in March 2022 aged 33 from glioblastoma. In her first interview since the tragedy, Kelsey told The Mirror: 'I didn't think I'd be living a relived experience, first losing Tom and now losing Phoenix. But I think with any grief and loss, you have to take each day as it come and work through it.' Kelsey is mother to Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four, with her late husband Tom and revealed she has discussed Phoenix's death with them. 'I spoke about it like I did with Tom, I just told them the truth,' she said. 'I think that's all you can do with your children, in anything you're going through, be honest.' Kelsey believes because the children had gone through losing their father, it made accepting Phoenix's death easier. 'We're sort of almost like the Addams Family because we've gone though so much death and darkness. The children are very aware,' she said. Kelsey credited Tom's parents Noreen and Nige for being their for her as she copes with the loss of Phoenix. The influencer said she is still very close with Noreen and she gave Kelsey her blessing when she told her she was pregnant with Phoenix. Kelsey threw herself into routine to cope with her grief and made sure to always be at the school gate to pick up Aurelia and Bodhi to show them 'you have to be brave and show up'. Kelsey confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date. Breaking the news in a poem, she announced the news on Instagram in June. She penned: 'The world grew quiet as you arrived, So loved, so longed for, yet not alive. Our precious boy, our angel light, Born with wings, took silent flight'. 'We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light Though we never heard you cry, You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. 'No breath you drew, no eyes to see, Still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, in every sigh, in every tear. Taking to her Instagram stories: she added: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share. 'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news. 'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family'. Kelsey met tree surgeon Will on a night out last year, with the couple announcing their relationship in September. On Sunday, Kelsey shared a video of herself on the beach during the trip alongside a heartbreaking letter to Phoenix. The podcast host penned: 'A Letter to My Angel. It's hard to find the words. 'There is no preparing for this kind of heartbreak. I had dreams for you, your first giggle, your first steps, the way you would cling to me when the world felt too big.' Kelsey penned: 'There is no preparing for this kind of heartbreak. I had dreams for you, your first giggle, your first steps, the way you would cling to me when the world felt too big' Kelsey continued: 'All those moments I imagined are now part of a different kind of story — one I never thought I'd have to write to you. 'But this isn't just about pain, it is about the quiet but powerful love you brought into this world. 'About how you changed me — made me softer, more grounded, and somehow even more grateful. 'Grief and gratitude can exist together. I grieve what was lost, but I am so thankful I had the chance to carry you for 9 months and love you unconditionally, I told you every day I loved you. 'You will always be mine. My son. My light. My why. 'I share this not because I have answers, but because silence can be lonely. 'And if you are walking through a similar kind of grief, please know you're not alone. There's a quiet sisterhood in this heartbreak, and I feel you deeply. 'For now, I'm learning to live with the ache, to breathe through the waves, and to find little pockets of peace in the middle of the storm. 'And I know that even though I can't hold you in my arms, I carry you in my heart, always.'
