Liam Gallagher recalls Paul McCartney margarita gaffe that left him red-faced
It involves Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, who made a guest appearance on the popular US talk show, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, where he shared a humorous anecdote about a chance encounter with Sir Paul McCartney.
Few individuals could leave the 52 year-old Rock 'n' Roll Star starstruck, but when it comes to a member of The Beatles - a band he has always idolised - it's perhaps understandable that Liam might get his wires crossed.

In a backstage clip shared to YouTube, Gallagher recalled the conversation with McCartney, 82, at London's Royal Albert Hall during the programme's Tales From Tour segment. "So I go in there and I don't really ask people for autographs, but I thought I'd get it for my kid's headteacher," he joked.
"I went in there and said, 'Excuse me, Mr Paul McCartney - is there any chance you could just sign this for us? And I'll be out of your hair'." Imitating McCartney's Scouse accent, Gallagher explained how he was invited over and asked how he was doing. "I said, 'Yeah, I'm good - just go on and sign there," Gallagher continued. "Good gig and all that stuff."
The Oasis star then revealed that McCartney asked him: "Why are you always rushing around? Do you like margaritas?" Gallagher responded: "I said, 'I do yeah, but I've just eaten before I came out'. He went, 'No, the bloody drink, you d***head!' - and that's my tale from the touring side of business!"
A YouTube user couldn't contain their enthusiasm after watching the clip, exclaiming: "This man needs his own reality TV show. Comedy genius GOLD." Another added: "Amazing story. Paul is one of Liam's musical heroes, and it's so funny that Paul offered him a drink, and Liam thought it was food."
Further adding to the chorus of amusement, a third remarked: "I literally lol'd at this. No matter how you feel about Oasis as a band, you have to admit Liam and Noel give hilarious interviews." While a fourth simply stated: "Would love to have been a fly on the wall when that happened."
According to Patron Tequila, meanwhile, National Margarita Day owes its origins to an American commercial real estate agent named Todd McCalla, who reportedly established the day around 2008. Their website details: "The day was created simply to share his love of margaritas, and to promote a more sophisticated appreciation of the beverage."
