Liam Gallagher has launched a furious Twitter tirade against comedian Peter Kay after a spat at the Brits award ceremonyThe former Oasis star made a surprise appearance at the ceremony to
accept the award for best Brits album of the past 30 years for (What's
The Story) Morning Glory.
But as he swaggered from the stage he hurled his award and microphone into the crowd.
The host of the show, Peter Kay, responded by calling him a "****head", getting one of the biggest laughs of the night.
Gallagher responded angrily on his Twitter feed: "Listen up fat ****
as a real northerner I was brought up 2 say **** to people's faces not
behind their back. Live forever LG."
The comedian is yet to respond to the remarks on his own Twitter
feed, but is unlikely to be surprised at being the target of
Gallagher's vitriol.
At the Brits ceremony in 2000, Robbie Williams challenged the Oasis star to a fight after months of insults from Gallagher
And in 1996, he accepted an award on stage from INXS singer Michael
Hutchence and asked: "Why is a has-been presenting to the gonnabes?"
As he accepted the award Gallagher thanked his former bandmates but not his brother Noel.
Noel quit the band in 2009 saying he "could not go on working with Liam a day longer".
Brits broadcaster ITV, which censored Gallagher's foul-mouthed
speech, said it had received two complaints about the coverage, one
complaining about the Oasis frontman and one about Peter Kay.
Meanwhile, a Facebook group set up to back Peter Kay's TV putdown to Gallagher has now attracted over 91,000 members.
Twitter eh, how very Rock 'N' Roll Liam ma man...
