Oasis’ Liam Gallagher to rake in even MORE cash from reunion tour as star lands huge fashion deal
I CAN reveal that stylish Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has landed a £1million designer fashion campaign – after I told last weekend how the band had bagged a big-money adidas advert ahead of their Live ‘25 reunion tour.
Liam has been offered the hefty fee by British luxury brand Burberry to shoot its lavish summer campaign.
The singer is synonymous with the label’s signature check print, having worn Burberry shirts and coats on stage over the years.
It comes after Liam’s eldest son Lennon, who he shares with ex Patsy Kensit, landed his own Burberry deal last year.
A source said: “Burberry are delighted to have bagged Liam for the summer campaign, which will launch weeks before the Oasis gigs kick off.
“As well as a cool £1million for the deal, he’ll also be gifted as much Burberry as he can wear on stage.
“He is juggling the shoot alongside his adidas commitments ahead of his rehearsals, which will be his main focus in the weeks leading up to the tour.
Summer festivals
“The campaign theme will celebrate British music and summer festivals.
“And it is hoped that, despite the higher price points, fans will still want to wear the pieces when they are at gigs.”
Liam is appearing alongside a host of other style leaders, including models Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne, and rising star rapper Chy Cartier.
Last week, the Burberry bosses set up their own festival scene, complete with colourful tents, for the shoot on a farm on the outskirts of North London.
It comes after the brothers filmed their adidas campaign at hipster hangout The Mildmay Club in North London on Thursday — but had different call times.
A well-placed source told me: “Adidas had shelled out a huge sum of money to make the production as smooth sailing as possible.
“But they ensured that Liam was there much earlier in the day than Noel was to avoid the brothers having to spend too much time together on set.
“They needed to film crowd scenes together, but they were in and out separately, with Liam getting the morning shift and Noel getting the afternoon slot.”
Speaking on talkSPORT radio station, Noel confirmed the band were gearing up to start rehearsals next month.
He said: “I’m in the studio, noodling around.
“We’re just getting ready for rehearsals to start now in about three weeks. And then we’ll see what happens.”
I’m champing at the bit . . .
WHOLE LOTTIE PARTYING
LOTTIE MOSS looked pretty in pink as she headed out in London.
The model flaunted her tattooed arms in a satin cami top for the opening of Mr Porter Steakhouse in the capital on Friday night.
Lottie, whose half-sister is model Kate Moss, shared a snap on Instagram of herself with make-up still on from the night before.
And she captioned it: “You know you had a good night when you wake up like this.”
I couldn’t agree more, Lottie.
GERI’S ALL WHITE JUST AS SHE IS
SHE always dresses immaculately in white, but Geri Halliwell-Horner has revealed she is learning to “let go of perfection”.
The former Spice Girl explained: “The most beautiful things come out of allowing oneself to be free and authentic, whatever that looks like.
“The irony is, aren’t we all far more compelling when we just allow ourselves to be that messy, beautiful human.”
Geri, who released her new novel Rosie Frost: Ice On Fire earlier this month, added: “We live in a world where we want to airbrush everything, but when we have those messy edges, there is something really beautiful and much more engaging and that’s the whole point.
“Just look at nature – every single blade of grass grows in its own way.”
CRUZ ALBUM KOOKING ON GAS
CRUZ BECKHAM has finished his debut album – and it is inspired by Pink Floyd and The Beatles.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham, who has been in the studio finishing up his record, has also leaned on The Kooks singer Luke Pritchard for advice.
Luke said: “He has finished his album and he is really happy with it. It’s got some psychedelia, very Beatles and Floyd, but through a new lens. It’s nice.
“His taste in music is amazing. I have heard quite a lot of his music and it is amazing.”
Luke, whose band is kicking off their UK arena tour later this year after the release of their album Never/Know next month, continued: “Because of his name it is always going to come with a certain connotation and I wanted him to know that just like us, who have been around for 25 years, you can be the real deal.”
Meanwhile, Kooks guitarist Hugh Harris, pictured with bandmate Luke and our Emily, revealed that Cruz has nicknamed his 1980s vintage Mercedes.
He said: “We have weird similarities. My Mercedes was called Penny like Penelope Cruz and I think Cruz has called his car Stella.”
Could Cruz have named his car after Stella McCartney as a nod to his love of The Beatles?
If so, given Victoria’s rocky relationship with fashion designer Stella, I can’t imagine she will want a spin in it any time soon…
YUNGBLUD HAS BEERS FLO-ING
YUNGBLUD has a hidden talent for pulling pints, it seems.
The rocker poured a pint of Camden Hells Lager at The Hawley Arms in North London on Friday night to celebrate the release of his new single, Lovesick Lullaby.
And he gave a cheeky nod to my story revealing that actress Florence Pugh will star in his new music video.
Yungblud, left, real name Dominic Harrison, said: “Florence is a superstar. She’s a once-in-a-generation talent and I’m proud to call her a mate.
“Maybe we’ll get to work on a project together some day, who knows?”
FRANKIE’S SATURDAYS REGRETS
FRANKIE BRIDGE has opened up about her time in The Saturdays, admitting she didn’t actually like some of their music.
And she explained how the girl band lacked creative control, adding: “It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t like a single, that single was coming out whether you liked it or not.
“There’s a few singles that don’t exist in my head because I didn’t like them, and you have to still go on TV and say, ‘Buy this single, it’s the greatest song ever’, and perform it, whether you like it or not.
“And that’s fine because some of them you like and some of them you don’t.”
The singer-turned-TV star, below, also revealed that she didn’t bag enough cash to retire, unlike her ex-footballer hubby Wayne Bridge.
She told The Savoy Originals podcast: “The Saturdays, we did well, but it wasn’t the most successful. So to work that hard and then know that you will have to find something to do afterwards is quite scary.
“Like I look at my husband. So we’ve probably worked for the same amount of time and he can be clever with his money and not work. Whereas I’m like, yeah, I’m still going.”
But she added about her job on ITV’s Loose Women: “I do love it.”
I’m sure you’d find it boring being a lady of leisure, Frankie.
DELTA’S A BRIT SMITTEN
FOR Aussie singer Delta Goodrem, the UK has always had a special place in her heart.
She tells me ahead of her Mistaken Identity tour, which will see two gigs at London’s Hackney Empire next month: “The UK feels like home. I think there is a strong bond between Aussies and Brits, we share a similar sense of humour.
“I’ve had so many incredible UK artists who have been incredible friends of mine throughout the years, like Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow, who have become friends of mine. I am so grateful to learn from other artists.
“When I first came over to the UK when I was 17, I remember meeting Craig David – he is such an insanely talented human.
“I am so thankful that we have been able to duet together.”
In fact, Delta is such an Anglophile she would love to do a rom-com in London if the right movie role came up.
She said: “I love acting so I’d love to put it out there. Now is a great time, it’s meant to be.”
Delta had to flee the LA wildfires earlier this year, but fortunately her home was not affected.
She said: “It was really nerve-wracking, but fortunately we were fine. I’m so grateful.”
WATCHING couples bonk on her new show has put Olivia Attwood off sex with hubby Bradley Dack.
The ex-Love Island star said being up so close for ITV documentary Getting Filthy Rich was a turn-off.
She told the Late To The Party podcast: “I’m literally in the room. I go home and tell Brad, ‘Please don’t touch me!’.”
