Liam Gallagher has recently been seen in public for the first time since the highly anticipated reformation of Oasis last month.
The 51-year-old musician was spotted taking his rescue dog, Buttons, for a walk in a common area in Southwest England.
Liam kept a low profile, donning a navy raincoat with the hood up, paired with a khaki green baseball cap.
His casual outfit included black sports leggings and old trainers, suggesting he was enjoying a quiet moment away from the spotlight.
Social Media Stir and Ticketing Controversy
Liam’s recent public appearance comes on the heels of a social media uproar concerning Oasis’s ticketing strategy for their upcoming tour.
Fans were dismayed by the high prices, with some tickets being resold for exorbitant amounts.
Compounding the frustration, many fans were mistakenly flagged as bots by ticketing websites and were pushed to the back of the queue.
This issue was exacerbated by dynamic pricing, which saw ticket prices skyrocket from around £148 to £355.
Liam’s Social Media Response
In the midst of the controversy, Liam took to social media to address the backlash.
He made a post on X (formerly Twitter) where he sarcastically commented on the band’s attitude and responded to critics with terse remarks.
When asked about his feelings regarding the situation, he joked about being “SMUG AS F***” and made light of his mother’s disappointment at not securing a ticket.
He even suggested there were “kneeling tickets only” for those who missed out.
Fan Reactions and Criticism
Fans were quick to voice their displeasure with Liam’s responses.
Many felt that his comments showed a lack of empathy for the working-class fans who struggled with the high ticket prices.
Criticism poured in, with some fans accusing him of being out of touch and forgetting the ordinary people who supported the band through the years.
Liam’s Thriving on Controversy
Despite the backlash, Liam has embraced the attention.
Over the weekend, he posted more on X, expressing his regret for fans who missed out on tickets and revealing that he thrives on the criticism.
He seemed to relish the opportunity to stir up more trouble, stating he would see “how much trouble I can get myself into.”
Ticketing Fiasco and Band’s Response
Oasis has since tried to deflect some of the criticism by blaming the ticketing fiasco on their management and Ticketmaster.
They claimed they were unaware that dynamic pricing would be used and that the decision was made during discussions between Ticketmaster, promoters, and their management.
Despite this, the situation has led to considerable frustration among fans, highlighting ongoing issues with ticket sales and pricing strategies.
