Liam Gallagher clashed with Matt Lucas in Damon Albarn

Liam Gallagher is giving up his wild lifestyle — until the end of Knebworth’s gig, anyway.

The Oasis icon is planning to stop quitting drinking and stopping being a killer until he takes the stage in June.

Around 160,000 fans will watch the shows at the Hertfordshire venue and he wants to be in top form.

Staying sober is just the beginning – he jokes that he won’t even leave the house!

He’ll also hit the treadmill so he’ll have enough fighting power for the gigs and will leave off his to-dos as the weeks go by.

Liam recently announced that he needs a hip replacement but that won’t stop him from getting in shape.

He says he’s too old to pick up the mic now after a wild night, and he says people pay too much to see him not at his best.

The 49-year-old musician – whose birthday is in September – has a long history as a promiscuous drinker and rock and roll player but now swears that now will be quiet nights with a cup of coffee. tea.

“I have a month to prepare for Knebworth so I’ll stay out of trouble, stay at home, relax, eat well, exercise and don’t drink alcohol or do any nonsense,” he told Face God.

“As you get older, you have to prepare right away for these gigs.

“You can’t go there like you were in your 20s otherwise it would look terrible and people pay a lot of money, so I had to prepare properly.”

It’s been 28 years since Liam burst onto the music scene as one half of Oasis alongside his older brother, Noel.

The pair quickly developed a reputation as Britpop’s bad boys – with intense rivalry with the band Blur and various booze cases getting them in trouble.

The band split in 2009, with Liam embarking on a new foray on the charts through a new band called Beady Eye which he topped from 2009 to 2014.

He then began a full solo career in 2016 with the release of his debut solo album, As You Were, the following year, which topped the UK album chart.

His second solo album, titled Why Me? Why Not., was released in 2019 and also topped the charts.
