Lily Allen Reflects on Liam Gallagher Romance After Attending His Concert

Lily Allen made rare comments about her former flame Liam Gallagher as she spoke in a very candid new interview on Tuesday.

The singer, 40, opened up to Perfect Magazine about her new album West End Girl, her marriage breakdown, body image and sharing sexy images of herself online.

She also discussed the fact that male artists don’t need to do as much when doing shows in order to ‘sell tickets’.

Bringing up Oasis star Liam, 53, she then said: ‘That’s the patriarchy at work. I went to see Oasis play on Sunday night and I thought it was f***ing great. I love Oasis. Noel is a fantastic songwriter and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

‘But in contrast to that, I went to see Lady Gaga the next night at the O2 and the difference in what a woman has to put into a show to be able to exist in show business, it’s like night and day.

‘You have to justify your existence as a woman, whereas you don’t as a man. Liam Gallagher can just sing a song and go ‘Nice one’ afterwards and do nothing with his entire body and people go f***ing mental. 

‘If Lady Gaga got up on stage and just sang her songs and didn’t do any dancing people would be outraged!’

Lily’s wild ‘toilet sex romp’ story with Liam resurfaced recently as Oasis began their highly-anticipated reunion tour this year.

According to the Smile hitmaker’s 2018 autobiography, My Thoughts Exactly, she and the music sensation joined the mile high club together back in 2009.

The singer met Liam on a plane on the way to Japan for the Fuji Rock Festival in  when they proceeded to get ‘hammered’ together and have sex in the toilets.

In the shocking excerpt of her book, Lily claimed they headed to his hotel together after one thing led to another.

However, Liam was married to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton at the time and he begged Lily, who admitted she had ‘grown up an Oasis fan’, never to reveal their fling.

She wrote: ‘We got hammered on the plane. At some point Liam and I found ourselves together in the toilet doing something that he shouldn’t have been doing, and it wasn’t drugs. 

‘Then we were in a lie-down bed together.

‘When we landed in Tokyo, Liam said, in his distinctive nasal twang, ‘What you doing now? Why don’t you come back to our hotel?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, OK’.

‘It wasn’t until the next day when he said something like, ‘No one can hear about this because of Nic’, then I clocked he was married.

‘I knew Noel was married and I knew Liam had been married to Patsy Kensit. That was partly why I fancied him.’

Despite hoping the secret romp would never see the light of day, Nicole discovered the truth six months after and Liam asked Lily to lie to his wife.

The Fear songstress explained the hitmaker ‘sounded awful, like he’d been up all night’ when he said he needed her to tell Nicole their night of passion was ‘b*****ks’. 

After splitting from Patsy Kensit, Liam married fellow singer Nicole in 2008 after dating for 8 years.

But the pair divorced six years later after splitting in 2013 – as Nicole she discovered he’d fathered a child with American journalist Liza Ghorbani.

Their son Gene, who has followed in Liam and Nicole’s musical footsteps, was born in 2001.

Oasis split in 2009 after many years of infighting, with Noel officially leaving the band just before a performance at a festival near Paris, saying at the time he ‘simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer ‘.

Even before the dissolution 15 years ago, the brothers had long had an antagonistic relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for years after the breakup.

They reunited for a hugely-successful world tour this year.
