Liam Gallagher's net worth, Robbie Williams rivalry and the famous ex they have in common Oasis frontman Liam is a colourful character both on and off the stage Liam Gallagher is the frontman of Oasis, who will be starting their reunion tour in Cardiff in July (Image: WireImage ) The Britpop band Oasis are back and will be starting their Live '25 reunion tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium this week. Some fans may have thought the reunion would never happen, but last August, brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher announced that the band was back together for the first time in 16 years after their explosive split in 2009. The landmark shows will begin on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, before heading to other UK cities such as Manchester and London. Frontman Liam is a colourful character both on and off the stage. Known for his outspoken nature on X, formerly known as Twitter, the singer has landed himself in hot water more than once. READ MORE: Noel Gallagher's net worth and how he got in trouble sticking up for a pop icon LATEST: Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais spotted in Cardiff ahead of Oasis gig at Principality Stadium But the star has also struck up an unlikely friendship with Robbie Williams, who dated Nicole Appleton, before she married Liam. The singer is also a father to four children Gene, Lennon, Molly and Gemma. who is soon to make Liam a grandfather. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . Here's everything you need to know about Liam. Net worth According to a report by The Mirror in January, it is believed that Liam Gallagher has a net worth of around £4.6million, while his brother has reportedly a fortune of around £53 million. According to Moneyweek, this disparity is largely due to Noel receiving more royalties. Surprise Robbie Williams' friendship When we think about the most notorious love-hate relationships in the world of music, the likes of Lennon and McCartney, Morrissey and Marr, Nicks and Buckingham spring to mind, but the '90s saw another love-hate relationship blossom between Angels singer Robbie Williams and Liam Gallagher. While Oasis was busy beefing with Blur, Liam had his own beef with the former Take That band member Robbie Williams. After quitting the band in the 1990s, Robbie briefly became close friends with the brothers, reports The Standard. In an interview in 2013, the singer said he didn't think he "was their cup of tea" and that he "didn't gel with them, so [they] stopped hanging out". During the Brit Awards, Robbie Williams offered Liam Gallagher a fight (Image: ITV ) However, things started to turn sour when Noel referred to Williams as the "fat dancer" from Take That during the 2000 Brit Awards. In response, Robbie challenged Noel's brother Liam for a fight. On stage during the Brit Awards he said: "So, anybody like to see me fight Liam? Liam, a hundred grand of your money and a hundred grand of my money. "We'll get in a ring and we'll have a fight and you can all watch it on TV, what do you think of that?" As far as we know, that fight never happened. But Williams wasn't willing to stop just there. In 1996, when Oasis had a historic two-night sellout in Knebworth Park, Robbie outdid them and sold three nights in a row at the Hertfordshire site. As reported by The Standard, it is claimed that Williams then sent Noel a note with a pair of tap dance shoes, with the words: "Dear Mr N Gallagher, you said two nights at Knebworth is history. Liam Gallagher and Robbie Williams at Glastonbury Festival in 1995 (Image: Getty Images ) "Well, I guess three is just greedy. Yours, Rob." He then added: "P.S. Finding it difficult to find adequate support for my show. What are you doing on the 1st and 2nd? Oh, and the 3rd?". While two also shared a former flame (more on this below), it does seem like the two have amended their friendship. On X in June this year, Liam was asked by a fan if he would ever consider taking part in Soccer Aid, to which the performer replied: "Far too many celebrities for me that's my idea of hell great cause and Robbie Balboa is doing a marvellous job". Liam was indeed referring to Williams, with the name being a reference to Sylvester Stallone's Rocky movies. Williams surprisingly responded to Liam's kind words and said: "I properly love you mate... You're the best". Famous ex At the height of their fame, Robbie Williams began dating Nicole Appleton in 1997 but eventually broke up in 2000. During their relationship, Nicole became pregnant, but she later terminated the pregnancy - an experience that the singer has documented in her 2002 autobiography Together and in Williams' 2024 biopic film Better Man. In 2000, Nicole then began dating Liam Gallagher following her break up with Robbie. The couple ended up getting married in 2007 and had a son called Gene Gallagher. Liam already had son, Lennon, with actress Patsy Kensit, and daughter, Molly. Liam did not meet Molly until 2018 and, until that time, she used her mother, Lisa's surname on her social media. Now, she uses the name Moorish-Gallagher Back to Nicole and Liam, their marriage came to an end and it was revealed that Liam had an affair and a secret child with American journalist Liza Ghorbani. Second daughter, Gemma, was born in 2013. Liam is now with partner, Debbie Gwyther, who was also his manager. The pair have been together since 2013. Oasis competition: Win tickets to see Oasis at Wembley Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused. Article continues below Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates with prices from £121, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
