Gallagher

LIAM GALLAGHER isn’t planning on putting his feet up for long after the biblical success of Oasis’s reunion tour.

I’m told that the motor-mouthed rocker has been offered the chance to make a second record with Stone Roses guitarist John Squire.

The Manchester greats, who were at the funeral of Stone Roses bass player Mani last month, dropped their first collaborative album in March 2024.

They toured with a new band that included Joey Waronker, who ended up on drums for the Oasis reunion tour.

Insiders revealed the pals had discussed the possibility of working on a new record together if Liam could make his schedule align with John’s.

My music mole said: “Liam and John are close friends and speak regularly.

“John has told Liam that he has a batch of songs ready to record and that he’d love to have him on board.

“Although Oasis is Liam’s priority, he doesn’t want to take a year off making music.

“Since he went solo in 2017, he has released music almost every year. Liam was proud of what he and John created in the studio and is up for a second record if he can find the time to make it work.”

Their self-titled debut album was entirely penned by John, who also played on the Stone Roses’ 1994 record Second Coming.

Despite writing songs in Oasis and as a solo artist, Liam has always maintained he is content to be a singer rather than a songwriter.

He said: “I never tried to write songs to compete with big brother or to get publishing rights.

“Sometimes, you play the guitar at home and something happens.

“You write a little song and that’s it, but I’ve never been into it. I’m not a songwriter.

“I prefer singing songs. I don’t care if I never write another song again, as long as I can sing it that’s all that matters.”

Fans are now eagerly awaiting news of Liam and Noel’s plans for the coming months.

My phone is still blowing up weekly with gossip about what’s coming next, including potential shows at the Etihad in Manchester and massive concerts at Knebworth.

There is also Steven Knight’s amazing film about Noel and Liam’s reunion, which I hope will see the light of day later this year.

Steven and his team filmed the brothers non-stop in rehearsals and on the road.

For us fans, it will be a must-watch for 2026.

BIFFY YOUNG BOOST

AFTER three decades together, Biffy Clyro’s fanbase is bigger than ever among young people.

Frontman Simon Neil said in an exclusive interview: “It’s really encouraging because for a few years – I guess the last ten – guitar music hasn’t seemed as relevant or mainstream.

“But seeing these 15 and 16-year-olds starting bands, picking up instruments and the amount of talent out there, that’s what blows us away.

“We learnt how to play music together and so many of these younger folk are so natural with it, so we feel really privileged to still be in this world and to see so much inspiring stuff coming through.”

They are fans of emerging bands including Gene Gallagher’s gritty group, called Villanelle.

Simon said: “I was speaking to Villanelle the other week and they really love their rock music.

“It was nice to chat to them and realise how much they get it. They are really coming from that American, almost grungy, kind of stuff. So I said I might go and write a tune with them.

“If anyone from a younger generation wants to work, it’s really nice to.

“There’s just so much talent.

“We can learn so much from working with someone younger, and hopefully they learn a little something from working with us.”

Miley hints at Hannah

MILEY CYRUS will mark the 20th anniversary of the role that launched her to stardom – Hannah Montana.

The singer is planning to celebrate the milestone of Disney’s TV show about a teenager who lived a double life as a popstar.

Miley looked chic in a black suit and open shirt as she appeared at the Palm Springs Film Festival over the weekend, along with Paul Mescal and Kate Hudson and said of the plans: “We’re working hard on them.”
She added: “Many new things are coming.

“The next few months will be focused on Avatar until the end of March, when we’ll shift our focus to Hannah Montana.”

On the role that made her the youngest person to be recognised as a Disney Legend in 2024, Miley said: “A lot of my time right now is being spent on how I can honour Hannah.

“Without Hannah, there wouldn’t be this, this me. It’s still crazy to think I started as a character I thought was going to be impossible to shed.”

PISTOLS HOLOGRAM IS VICIOUS FOR GLEN

SEX PISTOLS rocker Glen Matlock doesn’t want the band to ever become holograms – because he’d be ditched for Sid Vicious.

Glen was the original bass player in the punk group and co-wrote ten of the 12 songs on the band’s only official album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols.

But he left the band in 1977 to be replaced by Sid. Glen’s bandmate Steve Jones is keen to see the Pistols become holograms, just like the Abba Voyage show, and has told Glen that any AI version would see Sid back in the band.

Glen said: “I’ve had the discussion with Steve and he thinks it’s a good idea.

“And I said, ‘The thing is, Steve, you’ll probably do Sid, won’t you?’. And he said, ‘Well, yeah, that’s true’.”

JENNIFER STANDS UP FOR FANS

JENNIFER LOPEZ is making sure nothing stops fans having a good time at her Las Vegas residency.

J-Lo is in a run of shows at Caesars Palace at The Colosseum, and has put up a sign telling crowds she actively wants them to stand and dance.

Adele famously paused one of her shows at the same venue after staff repeatedly told one fan to sit down during her concert.

The furious star warned them to leave him alone and let him dance, saying the enthusiastic fan had been “bothered all night”.

It seems J-Lo does not want a repeat, with signs reading: “Please be advised that our guests are permitted and encouraged to stand during the performance.”

Good for her.

EX-FUN Lovin’ Criminals frontman Huey Morgan has joined Virgin Radio UK from BBC 6 Music.

He will host weekend mornings from 10am until 2pm, kicking off this Saturday.

The lovely Emma B is also coming to the station alongside Ana Matronic, who takes over Saturday nights from 6pm to 10pm.

MOLOTOV DUO’S LIFE ON TOUR

THE MOLOTOVS have today released their new single, Get A Life.

The track is taken from their upcoming album, Wasted On Youth.

Siblings Matt and Issey Cartlidge dropped the song as they gear up for a massive month of gigs, kicking off at King Tut’s in Glasgow tomorrow.

The rockers, who count Blondie, The Libertines and Iggy Pop among their fans, will then play shows across the UK, including in Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, Southampton, Cardiff and London.

The Molotovs are one of the most exciting bands I’ve seen live in yonks.

So if you get a chance to check them out, it’s well worth the price of a ticket.

COLDPLAY £2BN GIGS

COLDPLAY are officially the biggest British earners on the road since the start of the millennium.

Chris Martin and his band have now taken almost £2billion from their tours across the world.

New stats from Pollstar have revealed Coldplay, along with U2, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran and Sir Elton John, have all hit the billion quid mark since 2000 thanks to tours alone.

Taylor Swift is the biggest-ever earner, making £2.33billion from her 575 shows.

Jeff Kelly, from US entertainment firm PRrppd, told me: “Coldplay’s success is astonishing.

“They have barely stopped working over the last 25 years and have grown every year in their appeal to audiences.

“For them to generate almost two billion pounds speaks volumes, especially given that their average ticket price is so reasonable.

“The British Isles is incredibly well represented in that top ten chart, with half the spots.

“The last quarter of a century shows that Brits still serve up incredibly powerful music and connect to fans who want to see them live.”

OASIS star Liam Gallagher is facing a new court order to reveal how much money he has earned from the band’s hugely successful reunion tour, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

A court hearing is set to be held in New York this month after the mother of the singer’s love child filed a fresh legal motion to access his latest finances.

Liza Ghorbani is trying to obtain the singer’s bank records, tax returns and credit card statements to show how much he is now worth, say experts.

It will be the first time the band’s tour finances — which are estimated to be more than £350million — face being exposed to public scrutiny.

Ms Ghorbani wants to use the fresh information to prove he should stump up the £500,000 a year she’s claiming for the care of their daughter Gemma, 12, who was born in 2013 after an affair.

Liam, 53, and his brother Noel, 58, are expected to have raked in millions of pounds for last year’s sell-out Oasis Live ’25 reunion world tour.

The band, whose 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe has sold 15million copies worldwide, is estimated to have made £303million from ticket sales alone — with another £40million from sponsorship deals and merchandise.

More cash to come

Last week The Sun on Sunday told how Liam treated himself after the tour, splashing out on Arsenal star Tony Adams’s £4.25million Cotswolds mansion.

And there could be more cash to come as he has been teasing fans about new tour dates in the next couple of years.

It is understood that Ms Ghorbani, 51, is trying to access details on all of their tour-related income.

We can reveal that lawyers for the US music journalist have filed an application for an Order to Show Cause in New York’s Supreme Court.

The judge hearing their case, Mr ­Jeffrey Pearlman, has been asked to consider a motion to compel both sides to answer further questions and provide more information to help him make a decision.

He has set a date later this month for a fresh court hearing.

Ms Ghorbani has filed various documents into the court, including 15 exhibits setting out her specific requests on what she wants from Liam’s lawyers.

Details of her exact demands have not been disclosed.

But top New York family lawyer Morgan Mazer said Liam will have to hand over the documents relating to tour earnings during a process in the case called discovery.

Ms Mazer said: “Ms Ghorbani can get access to the tour merchandise sales, if it’s a side thing Mr Gallagher is earning money from.

He has been more than generous over the years and is standing firm with his legal team

Source close to Liam

“Ms Ghorbani will want to look at any employment and income, any perks that Mr Gallagher has.

“Credit card statements are relevant because some people don’t always show all their income on their tax returns.

“With the credit card statements you can glean what somebody is making based on their lifestyle. The powers to determine what you should pay in child support are broad.”

Yesterday a source close to the singer told The Sun on Sunday: “Liam has been focused on enjoying Christmas with his family and not letting this court case get to him.

“He has been more than generous over the years and is standing firm with his legal team.”

In March we revealed Ms Ghorbani had filed a lawsuit demanding more money despite the case being settled in 2015.

The rocker responded by slamming her on X as a “gold digger”.

He also posted a link to the 1963 Beatles song Money (That’s What I Want).

His tax returns will be sophisticated so you will likely want a forensic accountant to review them

Dror Bikel, New York family lawyer

Ms Ghorbani claims she needs more money because Gemma is autistic and her needs have changed.

Liam’s lawyer Judith Poller has called it an attempt to cash in on the Oasis tour.

Dror Bikel, another respected New York family lawyer, said the examination of Liam’s finances could be extensive.

He added: “When the accountants sink their teeth into it, people are in for a ride.

“His tax returns will be sophisticated so you will likely want a forensic accountant to review them and you can find out what investments he has, what property he owns.

“You start with the tax returns and go from there.”

And he said Liam could be held in ­contempt of court if he refuses to hand over more information.

Mr Bikel went on: “He could face financial penalties and the severest ­punishment is incarceration.

‘Could be consequences’

“If he doesn’t hand over his financial details there could be consequences.”

Mr Bikel also chided Liam for insulting Ms Ghorbani and said that it was “never a good idea” because “courts don’t like those kinds of things”.

In June the New York court heard Liam has paid out more than £750,000 since 2015. His lawyers said he later agreed to pay £180,000 towards Gemma’s school and autism-related expenses.

But Ms Ghorbani is demanding £510,000 a year to cover child support and expenses.

She and her daughter live in a £3,300-a-month Manhattan apartment. Her new demands include £22,500 a month for a home with a pool, £75,000 a year for a live-in nanny and a £5,000 holiday budget.

Liam, who has three other children, is said to have had a fling with Ms Ghorbani in 2011 soon after she interviewed him, while he was married to singer Nicole Appleton.
