Oasis man hits back at Brit Awards host over ‘knobhead’ gag

Liam Gallagher has hit back at Brit Awards 2010 host Peter Kay for calling him a “knobhead” at last night’s (February 16) ceremony.

Kay criticised Gallagher after he had left the stage following his speech for winning the Brit Album Of 30 Years award for the 1995 Oasis album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory’.

Writing about the comment on his Twitter.com/liamgallagher account, Gallagher chastised the Bolton-born comic for not insulting him to his face.

“Listen up fat fuck,” he wrote. “As a real northerner I was brought up 2 say shit 2 people’s faces not behind their back. Live forever LG“

Gallagher had an eventful night at the Brits. As well as picking up his award – which he threw into the audience – the singer also gave an insightful backstage interview where he insinuated that somebody else at the awards had had an argument with him. He was then heard saying that he wanted to get “loads of class A drugs” as the interview ended.

Oasis’ album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ won the award for the best album of the past 30 years at last night’s Brit Award ceremony at Earl’s Court in London. Liam was on hand to pick up the award.

‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, 4.2 of which are in the UK alone.

The number one album marked the band’s first UK number one single with ‘Some Might Say’ and features live favourites such as ‘Roll With It’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’. It also contains the singles ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’. ‘Wonderwall’, released in 1995, was the band’s 8th single in the space of 18 punch-drunk months that saw the band rise from noisy Manchester lads to the most talked about band in the world. These two songs, amongst so many others, have come to define Noel Gallagher’s ability to write stadium-rousing anthems, something anyone who caught the band live can testify to.

The Brit Award category was voted for online by the public. The category was open to the best-selling, ‘Best Album’ winners from the past 29 Brit Awards to celebrate the Award’s 30th birthday this year.

Oasis would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for them.

Cheers!

OASIS star LIAM GALLAGHER concedes his band will never repeat the success they enjoyed in their mid-1990s heyday.

The band’s new album DON’T BELIEVE THE TRUTH has attracted a luke-warm response from critics, but Gallagher insists fans and commentators must be realistic.

Speaking of the band’s first and second albums DEFINITELY MAYBE and (WHAT’S THE STORY?) MORNING GLORY, which propelled the band to superstardom, he says, “We have to be realistic. We will never sell that amount of records again.”

A STAR-STUDDED celebrity auction organised by the Western Mail which has so far raised almost £17,000 for the victims of the Asian tsunami will be boosted further today thanks to another fantastic donation.

Former Oasis musician Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs has donated a gold disc he received for the band’s best-selling album.

The signed commemorative disc for (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? will go on sale on the auction website eBay today along with a five times platinum disc for the same album donated by Welsh producer Owen Morris.

The Manchester band, pictured right – which includes brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher – received a number of discs, along with producer Morris, due to the phenomenal success of the 1995 album, which sold 4.2 million copies in the UK alone.

It remains the second biggest British album in history, behind The Beatles’ 1967 hit Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which sold 4.5 million copies.

Bonehead, who has since left the band, has donated the gold disc he was presented with after more than 25,000 copies of the album were sold in Denmark.

He generously decided to support the Western Mail’s auction to raise funds for the victims of the Asian tsunami after hearing that Morris had handed over his five times platinum disc, which he received after the album sold more than 1.5 million copies in the UK.

The chart-topping album – the second released by Oasis – spawned some of their greatest hits, including Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Roll With It and Don’t Look Back in Anger.

And although they had already gained a string of fans following the release of their debut album, Definitely Maybe, it was this, their second album, which propelled them to the top of their profession and made them one of the biggest bands of the ’90s.

Morris, who is from Glyncorrwg, near Port Talbot, produced the album for Oasis, who are managed by Marcus Russell from Ebbw Vale.

Although his five times platinum disc is one of the greatest pieces of music memorabilia, he decided to donate it to the tsunami auction after being touched by the victims’ plight.

“I wanted to put the disc forward for auction in the hope that it will raise as much money as possible for the appeal,” said Morris, who now lives in Crickhowell and has worked with other top acts like Ash and The Verve.

“I’m working with Thailand’s biggest rock band Loso who have told me just how bad things really are in their country at the moment. The Oasis disc should raise quite a lot of money for the cause.”

After hearing about the auction through Morris, father-of-two Bonehead decided he also wanted to do his bit to help.

“Owen said he was donating a disc and I thought it was a great idea,” he said. “I would rather it was used to raise money than just left sitting on my wall. I’ve got others and all of the band’s work is on record for my children. I still feel shocked by what’s happened in Asia – it’s destroyed generations.”
