Liam Gallagher is embracing middle age by making some changes to his diet. Namely, drinking half a bottle of brandy during his live shows.
The Oasis star, who turned 50 today, says he now needs a little Dutch courage to boost his swagger. He said: "I've been getting a bit battered on stage recently.
"As you get older, you're not as c*cksure. So I've been having a brandy just to chill me out.
"About the seventh song or the sixth song you think, 'Yeah, this is actually all right. I'll have another one.' By the time you've done your 20th song you've done a bottle."
Liam scoffs that fellow 90s rockers who are "meant to be rock 'n' roll, the big drug takers and that" (namely brother Noel Gallagher ) actually take nothing stronger than Lucozade and Fruit Pastilles.
Boasting on Apple Music 1 radio, Liam said: "I got off my head in the 90s. There’s a lot of people with great memories from the 90s and I just think, 'Well, were you really that rock 'n' roll then, mate?'"

Of his gravelly tones, he adds: "I smoke and I drink and I get involved, unlike some. I might have had six months off a couple of years ago ... but I’m normally drinking and smoking and whatever. So my voice will change."
Thankfully, the quality of his rock’n’roll anecdotes remains intact.
