Now his band will play their own headline UK tour. You can catch VILLANELLE at the likes of Stereo in Glasgow, Night & Day in Manchester and Oslo in London.

Ahead of his Definitely Maybe dates, Liam Gallagher defended his choice to give his son a leg up after he told fans Villanelle would be opening the nostalgic tour.

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"

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 FUCKOFF LG x

On the whole, fans agreed with 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".

Is it fuck he’s my son it’s what you do

When a fan asked if his eldest son's band, Automotion, would be taking to the stage, Gallagher revealed that Lennon - who he shares with ex wife Patsy Kensit - was also offered the opportunity and politely declined.

He was asked and politely refused
