Oasis star Liam Gallagher once bolted it from one of his fans in London after getting the “fear” but revealed he’s much better at interacting with them when he is drunk
Oasis star Liam Gallagher once pegged it from a fan after getting the “fear” – and claimed he’s much better at interacting with them when he’s drunk.
Interview with NME from 1997, Liam said: “I’d rather be out, except I can’t even do that at the moment. I get agoraphobia sometimes when I’m out.
“Like, I went to Oxford Street the other day to buy a suit and I got the fear. I was surrounded by people asking me for things so I sacked the suit and jumped in a cab and nailed the doors down.
“It’s bad, man. If I’m pissed, though, it’s OK. I can monkey about with them and get on with business. That’s the trick. Always be a little bit p*****.”
In other oasis news, a devoted fan has been left heartbroken after discovering the £700 he spent on concert tickets was “essentially spent on thin air”.
Nevile Root, 20, had been eagerly anticipating the chance to see the Gallagher brothers perform at their third night at Heaton Park on Wednesday (July 16) alongside his girlfriend.
However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that the two tickets he had purchased via resale site Twickets had actually been sold to another buyer through Ticketmaster’s resale option – a whole seven months prior.
Including booking fees, they were out of pocket by £724, reports the Daily Star.
The original ticket seller, based in Australia, had secured two tickets before the band announced their additional world tour dates, which include gigs in Sydney and Melbourne later this year.
Neville recounted his determination to secure tickets: “I persevered and followed the guidance to use the only ‘official’ resale site, Twickets. I was made up when I managed to secure two tickets in early January to see them in Heaton Park.”
Despite the high cost, Neville didn’t hesitate: “For me, this was the one gig where money was no object. But over £700 is a whole month’s rent. It’s more money than most 20-year-olds can spare on gig tickets, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity.”
As time passed, Neville reached out to the seller, who informed him that Ticketmaster app transfers would only be possible shortly before the event, typically between 48 and 24 hours prior to the concert. It wasn’t until the day of the concert that Neville received the shocking news from the vendor that his tickets had been flagged as “sold” on the Ticketmaster app.
This revealed that the seller had breached Twickets’ rules by selling the same pair of tickets on both platforms.
As a result, Twickets had no choice but to cancel the transaction and offer a full refund: “We therefore have no alternative but to withdraw the sale and issue you with a full refund, which should show on your card account in the next 2-3 working days.”
Neville expressed his deep disappointment with the situation, stating: “I’ve essentially spent over £700 on thin air, and left with no chance of sorting it now because it’s all so last minute. Had I have known months ago, I may have had a chance. This wasn’t just like buying a ticket for a band who comes round every year, this was a big deal.”
