The former Oasis frontman shared a video of his son's band VILANELLE on X.

Liam Gallagher has shared footage of his son Gene's new band, who recently supported Seb Lowe at the O2 Ritz, Manchester.

The former Oasis frontman previously praised VILLANELLE and now he's taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share footage of the band supporting supporting Seb Lowe, with the caption: "Cmon".

• Liam Gallagher says son Gene's band will support him on 2024 Definitely Maybe dates
• Here's what Gene Gallagher's new band sounds like...

The Manchester rocker's post comes after he defended himself from nepotism claims after telling fans Gene would be opening up his Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary dates this year.

Taking to X, he wrote: "I’ve given many opportunities to many young bands over the years it’s what you do if you can now it’s VILLANELLES turn if you don’t like it F**KOFF LG x"

On the whole, followers defended the Manchester rocker, saying he didn't need to explain himself or apologise, to which he responded that he was simply putting people in their place.

However, one fan did accuse him of nepotism, to which the Supersonic singer replied: "Is it f*** he’s my son it’s what you do".

When a fan asked about his eldest son's band, Automotion, Gallagher revealed that Lennon - who he shares with ex wife Patsy Kensit - politely declined the opportunity.

VILLANELLE'S next show takes place this Tuesday (16th April) at The Bodega Social Club in Nottigham.
