Liam Gallagher's Wonder Wheel

It was a night out on his home turf that really took off for Liam Gallagher.

The Oasis frontman went for a spin on Manchester’s big wheel in Exchange Square on a day off from the band’s UK tour.

And the feat of engineering struck a chord with the gobby singer who said: “What a machine. It’s great for Manchester.”

Generous Liam then handed a homeless man a crisp £50 note before finishing his night off at The Wellington pub in the city centre.

Meanwhile, his brother Noel revealed yesterday he came close to disbanding the group when Bonehead and Guigsy left in 1999.

He considered calling it a day for good during recording sessions for the album Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants

Speaking to Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music, Noel said: “We had a serious discussion after Bonehead and Guigsy left.

“‘Should we fold this now...just go under a different name?’”

Noel also revealed he halted plans for a West End show based on the band, adding: “Someone has floated the idea of an Oasis musical called Live Forever – Oasis The Musical.

“Ludicrous!”
