Liam Gallagher To Move To New York?

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher just bought his first American property, in the form of a two-bedroom condo in a New York landmark.
His condo, which sits on the 17th floor of the iconic Essex House, features a large living space, modern kitchen, and even a 40-bottle wine cooler.
Gallagher purchased the plush pad for $2.5million, $400,000 less than the listing price.
The outspoken British rocker, as the New York Observer notes, has been vocal over his distaste for the U.S., once telling Contact Music that ‘American gigs are soul-destroying,’ as ‘there are a lot of people eating pizza.’
However, he seems to have gotten over that sentiment.
The property was sold by Stribling’s Mary Ellen Cashman.
The Essex House, one of New York City’s many landmarks, serves as both a hotel and permanent residences.
It is immediately recognisable due to the neon sign on the roof 44 storeys up that also reads ‘Essex House.’
Located on Central Park South between Avenue of the Americas and Seventh Avenue, it sits squarely across the street from the southern edge of Central Park.
Gallagher’s two bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom property comes complete with a modern kitchen, herringbone floors, a washer and dryer in the unit, as well as access to the residence’s health club and spa.
There is ample room for a dining area in the apartment’s living room.
Though his accommodations are decidedly modern, many other residences within Essex House maintain their original Art Deco styling.
The prime location puts the musician near Central Park, Columbus Circle, Carnegie Hall, The Russian Tea Room, and The Plaza Hotel, as well as dozens of elite dining establishments.
Unfortunately for Gallagher, there are two pizzerias within a two-block radius of his new apartment.
