Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher is the English rock singer who fronted Oasis, the Britpop band that dominated 1990s UK music alongside his brother Noel.

Known for his distinctive nasal vocals, parka jackets, and combative swagger, he became as famous for feuding with Noel as for hits like "Wonderwall." After Oasis split in 2009, he formed Beady Eye, then launched a solo career.

His name evokes working-class Manchester attitude and rock-star belligerence: He's got that Liam Gallagher energy—all swagger and no filter.
