American rocker Mark Lanegan, from the band Screaming Trees, who supported Oasis in the States, claims Liam headed home to avoid a planned fight between the pair.

“He had quit and bailed before I could have a go at him before his promised playground battle royale in miami.
“Typical, I thought. That phoney motherf er had p ed his pants and gone home to mama before I had a chance to blow this whole thing up myself. ”
He explains: “He came up to where we were sitting,‘ Howling Branches, ’he shouted.
“I realized he was addressing me and attempting a weak joke with the over-the-top intensity of a put-down.
“‘ ‘F off, you stupid f ing idiot,’ was my brief, blasé retort.

“What did you say? ‘ Gallagher yelled. ‘Are you mad?’
“He launched into a strange, lurching half-dance, lunging forward as though to physically attack, only to back up again while gesticulating crazily.
“He intended for it to look intimidating.
“’He looked f ing pathetic.” Oasis called it a day in .
Liam’s brashness and ability to upset practically everyone he meets is one of the many reasons why Noel refuses to reunite the band .
And after this revelation, many bands might not quite fancy supporting Liam on tour either.
