Liam Gallagher ‘Tossed a Chair’ at His Brother for the Way He Signed a Fan’s Poster
Liam Gallagher and his brother, Noel Gallagher, have publicly clashed for practically all the years they were in Oasis. They bickered onstage and in front of fans, with their disagreements sometimes turning violent. When they both signed the same poster, Liam flung a chair at his brother in anger.
Liam Gallagher threw a chair at his brother over a poster
In 1994, Oasis had the fastest-selling debut album in U.K. history. By 1995, they were poised to make names for themselves in the United States. Despite their success, they couldn’t stop arguing. Liam said this was just the way their relationship functioned.
“It’s just me and me brother having arguments in a band,” he told Rolling Stone. “If we weren’t in a band, we’d be havin’ it in the house. If we had a greengrocers, Gallagher’s Greengrocers, we’d argue over which way we set out the apples or the f***in’ pears.”
At one show, both Liam and Noel signed the same fan’s poster, declaring different positions of power for themselves with their signatures.
“They were signing a poster for a fan, and Liam signed it, ‘From the star of the stage,’” musician Chuck Cleaver said. “So then his brother wrote, ‘From the owner of the star of the stage.’”
Noel’s writing immediately pushed his brother into anger.
“Liam got ticked and tossed a chair at [Noel],” Cleaver recalled, adding, “He was yelling, ‘Wanker!’ and ‘Cheeky bastard!’”

In 1994, the same year the band released their debut album, they performed in the United States for the first time. At a show in Los Angeles, the tension between the brothers boiled over on stage. Before a show at the Whisky A Go Go, they unknowingly took meth.
“I don’t know who f***ing got it but it was there and we all thought it was coke,” Liam said in the documentary Oasis: Supersonic (via Louder). “We’re doing big f***ing lines of it and it just kept us up for f***ing days. The band were not in the right place.”
Liam shouted at Noel during the concert before hitting him on the head with a tambourine. This was the first of many public arguments.
Oasis recently announced North American tour dates
In August, Oasis announced a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland in the summer of 2025. These will be their first shows together after a 15-year hiatus. This month, they announced tour dates in North America.
“America. Oasis is coming,” the band said, per Variety. “You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”
Beginning in Aug. 2025, the band will play shows in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, LA, and Mexico City. Tickets to the North American leg of the tour become available on Friday, Oct. 4. The tickets to their U.K. tour sold out immediately, with 10 million people queueing for a chance to see the band live.
