Liam Gallagher gives new Oasis interview and discusses loves of his life days before tour

Liam Gallagher has given a mini interview ahead of the Oasis comeback tour - explaining what he thinks makes a great frontman.

The Oasis singer was modelling a new Burberry jacket when he answered a series of questions for the designer brand just days before he will take to the stage with brother Noel Gallagher in Cardiff. The pair and the rest of Oasis have already been rehearsing in the Principality stadium in the Welsh capital.

Asked what makes a great frontman, Liam said: “I mean being able to sing is good. Just getting on with your job and doing it, and trying to get a vibe going and looking cool.”

He has previously credit Ian Brown as an influence on him as a youngster and asked for the music money that changed his life he explained: “When I went to see the Stone Roses in 1989 in Manchester, and that was it, I thought ‘I'm having a bit of that’.”

Liam was also asked about the things he couldn’t live without, and some of these things he will undoubtedly miss whilst on tour, especially his pet. He said: Football, my family, my missus, my kids, my dog. In no particular order by the way. My dog’s called Buttons.”

Manchester City fan Liam also found time to praised Burberry for their “good jackets” and recalled wearing one on stage when Oasis played Maine Road, the former home of Man City. He has not committed to wearing a coat in Cardiff this week but he added: “I like the jackets. I first one I wore was, it was in Maine Road actually, a blue check one like a Harrington, still got it.”

Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the the start of their sensational reunion tour - which will finally see Noel and Liam Gallagher on stage.

The band could be heard on Monday having rehearsals inside the Principality stadium. The countdown is now on for the first show of the world tour on Friday, with the band having got back together several months ago to begin jamming.

The first photos of the band leaving rehearsals in London were published in May. They showed Noel Gallagher, Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell who will play guitars in the massive sold out gigs, with Andy on bass.

Liam, who was initially on vocal rest, then joined on June 3. The band also has new members in keyboard player Christian Madden and drummer Joey Waronker on drums. He has played with Liam before on a tour but never in Oasis.

Noel and Liam will walk on stage for the first time together in public, since the band split nearly two decades ago, on July 4. There will also be dates in Manchester, London and Dublin as part of the tour.

Noel, 57, quit the Manchester rock group on August 28 2009, saying he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer", and the brothers had made negative comments about each other for more than a decade.

That all changed with the announcement of the tour in August last year. The pair posed for several photos together confirming the band's long-awaited reunion on Tuesday, saying: "The great wait is over."

In April, Live Forever by Oasis was crowned the best British song of all time in a new poll ahead of the band’s highly-anticipated reunion tour this summer.

The Manchester band led by Noel and Liam Gallagher had an incredible 16 tracks in the top 100 results by Radio X. As well as Live Forever, ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger,’ ‘Slide Away’ and ‘Champagne Supernova’ also made the top 10. It was Radio X’s 10 th annual Best Of British with B&Q poll.

The new live shows will also feature special guests Richard Ashcroft and Cast, who are friends with the band.
