Liam Gallagher's "life caved in" after Oasis split.
The 51-year-old singer rose to fame in the band alongside his brother Noel Gallagher, but the group disbanded in 2009 as tensions between the siblings boiled over and culminated in a huge argument backstage at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris which led to Noel walking away from the group - accusing his brother of being impossible to work with and suggesting he'd suffered "verbal and violent intimidation".
Liam has now admitted he fell apart after the end of Oasis, telling the Guardian newspaper: "They threw me under the ... bus. All my life caved in."
He claimed Noel was well looked after in the aftermath of the split, but he was left struggling to accomplish simple tasks after being in a band for most of his adult life.
The rocker explained: "[It was an] absolute nightmare … I was sitting at home with no management, no office, and no one to really speak to, while Noel was still walking into his big management office having everyone running around after him, getting smart and dissing people.
"Looking back with hindsight, you can go: ‘You’re a big boy’ and all that, but when you’ve had all that stuff for 20 years … I could barely tie my shoelace let alone run my business or my life. All that support was taken away, but little Noely G had it all still there."
He added of Noel's decision to walk away from the band: "If you want to do your little thing because you’re not getting enough attention, feel free, mate. I’ll go to Barbados and sit on a beach for six months, but don’t be pulling the plug on the band. That’s the way I saw it ... "
The 'Roll With It' star went on to insist he'd always been the lairy one of the group and couldn't understand why Noel suddenly took exception towards his antics.
Liam added: "That was my behaviour since day one, and his. That’s what made Oasis what it was. I wasn’t any different, but all of a sudden, he’s turned into [Boyzone singer] Ronan Keating ... going: ‘We can’t have that behaviour' ...
"Meanwhile, [now] he’s out on tour with ... [ex-Kasabian frontman] Tom Meighan ... And yet you won’t get back in a band with me because I’m [not nice] ?! Eh, chill out, mate."
Liam insisted he still hasn't seen or spoken to his brother, but he feels grateful to have been "humbled" by his experience of having to go it alone insisting it has made him "a better person".
