Mani revealed the news in an interview with Talksport radio yesterday (March 14).

Gallagher is set to play two gigs in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust at London‘s Royal Albert Hall on March 25 and 26. He will also be joined by a string section, Wired Strings, for both gigs.

I put myself up for the job once when Guigsy got ill. I think Liam’s exact words were, “I’m not having no ‘Munich’ in the band,” ‘cos that’s what he calls Man Utd fans [laughs]. I’d have done it stood on me head, man. It would’ve been such a great band if I’d joined them. Just a little joke there. Not done bad, the lads, have they?
