Oasis legend Liam Gallagher has let rip at American rocker Mark Lanegan after the US star branded him a ‘bully’.
Lanegan talks about a tense encounter with the former Oasis star in his new memoir, Sing Backwards and Weep, in which he claims Gallagher quit the 1996 Oasis tour in part to avoid a planned fight between the pair.
He goes on to allege that “Liam tried to assert his authority over him within minutes of meeting on the tour” when Oasis toured with Screaming Trees in the 1990s.
Taking to Twitter, Liam wrote to his 3.3 million followers: “Mark Lannegan here’s how I saw it.

“I asked you your band’s name, I was f***ing around and called it something else.
“You being an uptight junkie and not having a sense of humour got your little grungy knickers in a twist another bull******* trying to sell a book LG x [sic]”
In the book, Mark, who previously said heroin stopped him dying of alcohol, claims: “I detested bullies and refused to put up with them.

“Liam Gallagher was an obvious poser, a playground bully.
“Like all bullies, he was also a total p****.”
He added: “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***** had p***ed his pants and gone home to mama before I had a chance to blow this whole thing up myself.”
Recalling an altercation backstage on the road, Mark added: “He [Liam] 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.”
