Beady Eye's Liam Gallagher Reveals Six Months of Sobriety

Having lived the high life as one of the most intoxicated and boisterous rock'n'roll stars of recent years, Liam Gallagher may well be mellowing out. The 38-year-old Beady Eye frontman has revealed that he's jumped on the wagon and has been sober for the last six months.

Talking to chat show host Alan Carr on Channel 4's 'Chatty Man' (via The Sun), Gallagher said, "If I have a drink, I'll be on the Christmas special. I haven't had a drink since New Year's Eve. I'm having a bit of a break. I went 20 years drinking and messing about. It's rubbish."

He also confessed that his drinking had led to problems during his Oasis days. "At Knebworth I thought we were doing one night and we were doing two. I got that mashed on the first I woke up to a knock on the door and thought I was at home. I forgot all about it. But I had to go and do it again. That was heavy."

He also confessed his rift with estranged brother Noel Gallagher runs so deep that he wouldn't have attended his older sibling's wedding to Sara McDonald even if he'd been invited.

"I wouldn't have gone anyway," he said. "I was busy. If I had I'd have had a drink and it would have gone pear-shaped. It would've been like 'Dynasty'."
