Liam Gallagher's tipple on Oasis tour - and it's not what you'd expect
Liam Gallagher has been taking a more wholesome approach to life on the road after reuniting with brother Noel Gallagher for the Oasis Live '25 Tour. Liam Gallagher, notorious for his wild partying and boozy escapades, is now adopting a more wholesome lifestyle on tour. Fans shouldn't expect to witness him downing tequila shots or guzzling pints, as he now has a new tipple of choice. And it's not what fans might expect. The rock star, 52, has opted for a healthier approach to touring life after reuniting with his brother Noel Gallagher, 58, for the Oasis Live '25 Tour. He's reportedly sipping apple cider vinegar tea in a bid to safeguard his voice and ensure peak performance. Having previously struggled with vocal issues and undergone cortisone injections for inflamed vocal cords, Liam is prioritising the protection of his voice as he embarks on the UK dates of his monumental tour according to the Mirror. Fans have spotted Liam clutching an oak-coloured beverage on stage. However, it seems to reportedly be a special tea blend containing honey and other soothing ingredients according to the publication. Despite the singer admitting that his new favourite drink provides key health benefits, he knocks points off for its lack of a kick while on the road. In his 2018 documentary As It Was, Liam revealed: "I drink a lot of funky drinks. I have this apple cider vinegar, the one that everyone bangs on about. Apparently, it's great for everything. Mam has it for arthritis and it's really good for her. "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. "It makes you tired and your bones are creaky, but you have this drink and it makes you a bit Jumping Jack Flash." Oasis have already taken the stage at Heaton Park on Friday 11, Saturday 12 and Wednesday 16 July and are set to return to their stomping ground for two additional performances in the Manchester park this weekend. They brothers are scheduled to perform on both Saturday, 19 July, and Sunday, 20 July, marking their final two evenings in their hometown. The band will then progress to London's Wembley Stadium, where they are due to appear on July 25, 26 and 30 and August 2 and 3. They will move on to perform in Scotland for fans at Edinburgh's Murrayfield on the weekend of 8 and 9 August, and on Tuesday, August 12. The Gallagher brothers will be occupied with the tour until the end of the year, with performances scheduled up to late November. The final night of their tour is scheduled for November 23 in Brazil.

Liam Gallagher's new favourite drink on Oasis tour revealed - and it's not what you think
Liam Gallagher has reunited with his brother for their Oasis world tour - and while they have a history as hellraisers, fans may be surprised to hear what Liam is drinking on the road Liam Gallagher may be well known for his hellraising antics, having admitted to wild boozing and drug-fuelled antics in the past. But while fans are enjoying seeing him back on stage during the current Oasis world tour, they should not expect to see him knocking back shots of tequila or swilling pints. The 52-year-old rocker is taking a much more wholesome approach to life on the road after reuniting with brother Noel Gallagher, 58, for the Oasis Live '25 Tour. It is reported he is drinking apple cider vinegar tea in an effort to protect his voice to ensure he sounds his best while on the road. Liam has suffered from vocal issues in the past and revealed he had received cortisone injections for inflamed vocal cords. But protecting his main instrument is high on his priority list as he traverses the UK for the beginning dates of his epic tour. Fans, who have been wowed by Liam's powerful vocals during the UK dates of the tour so far, have noticed him nursing an oak-coloured drink while he is on stage. But it appears this is simply a special tea concoction that contains honey and other soothing elements. While the singer has complained that his new favourite drink helps him medicinally, but it offers no kick while on the road. Speaking in 2018 in his As It Was documentary which aired the following year , Liam said: "I drink a lot of funky drinks. I have this apple cider vinegar, the one that everyone bangs on about. Apparently, it's great for everything. Mam has it for arthritis and it's really good for her. "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. "It makes you tired and your bones are creaky, but you have this drink and it makes you a bit Jumping Jack Flash." By all rights, the new Oasis tour has been a smash hit among fans and critics. The tour sees Liam and Noel belt out 23 hit songs - with crowds lapping up the banter, vocals, and staging. The Mirror's Showbiz Editor Mark Jefferies attended one of Oasis's first two Heaton Park gigs and was blown away by the performance - as well as the friendly relations between the lead singers. He recounts: "On Saturday night at the end of the show the brothers hugged and then Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear show of admiration and to tell the crowd just how much he loved Liam's performance. It was a shocking sight, the total opposite of their old rows on stage." Having managed to attend three of the first four gigs, Mark added: "Would I like more stage interaction? Of course. And some of the lines on stage are now pre-planned which doesn't feel very Oasis. But the Gallaghers have grown up, and like their mature fans who can only manage to jump up and down for the odd song in three these days, this style of set is what they need to make things work." The Mirror's Daniel Bird attended the first of the Manchester dates, revealing: "Walking out at Heaton Park, you could never have imagined that there was once a feud between the two siblings. Putting on a united front, the two legends walked out to their 2000 track, F***in' In The Bushes, to a crowd of 80,000 people, with the atmosphere instantly becoming electric." Oasis have so far performed at Heaton Park on Friday 11, Saturday 12 and Wednesday 16 July - and will return for two more gigs in the park in north Manchester this weekend. They will play both Saturday, 19 July, and Sunday, 20 July, for their final two nights in their home, where they have thrilled their local fans. They then advance to London's Wembley Stadium, where they will take to the stage on July 25, 26 and 30 and August 2 and 3. While the two gigs in Manchester were a success, they were also marred by controversy as music fans without tickets attempted to storm the venue. The tour will keep the Gallagher brothers busy until the end of the year, as tour dates will be performed through to late November. Their final night of the tour is set to take place in Brasil on 23 November.

Mum might say - Liam Gallagher on the ‘coolest woman on the planet'
Rock star Liam Gallagher has described his Irish mother 'an angel… the coolest woman that's ever walked this f***ing planet in my eyes'. The Oasis frontman also said his Mayo-born mum is an 'absolute diamond', adding: 'Everything that is good about me I definitely got from her.' Peggy Gallagher's no-nonsense attitude to her sons' career choice was captured in Liam's BBC documentary As It Was, where they were filmed chatting in the living room of her council house. 'Do you remember that time you sat out in the kitchen and told me you were going to be a singer?' she recalled. 'And I says to him, to be a singer? I says: 'You can't sing!'' When Liam retorted that he was going to be famous, his mother shot back: 'You want to bloody hurry up and be famous then.' Peggy Gallagher with sons Noel, Paul and Liam in the 1970s.

Liam became interested in music when he was 15 after being expelled from school for fighting. The star said he discovered his musical ability while singing along to the Top 40 hits on his mother's radio. Liam Gallagher with his mother Peggy in 2006.

Noel told then Late Late Show presenter Ryan Tubridy: 'We offered to buy her a house but where we're from in Manchester, she's got seven sisters and about five of them live about a 15-minute walk from each other, so she wasn't going to move.' He added: 'The one thing she requested was, we had a garden gate which was really squeaky, and she said: 'If you could just change the gate.' 'We bought her a brand-new gate with a gold number 5 on it and she was happy as Larry after that.'
