Liam Gallagher has described his brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel as a “f*cking fake” over the way he left the group.

The guitarist walked out of the band two years ago, saying at the time he could not continue and complaining about "the lack of support and understanding" from his bandmates.

In an interview with The Guardian, Liam, who has gone on to form Beady Eye with the remaining ex-members of Oasis, said he was hurt by his brother's statement.

"Absolute ****ing bollocks. That's the thing that makes me want to throw up. I just look at him now and think, 'You're a f*cking fake',” he said.

“It's like, if you want to f*cking leave the band, leave the band. If you want to stay at home with your kids, stay at home with your kids."

“If you wanna have five years off, have five years off. We'll sit down as a band and talk about it. But don't start going, 'I was bullied out of the band.' F*cking shite."

Liam went on to criticise his brother further for leaving the statement up on Oasis' website.

"Take the f*cking statement down. It's over. We're all grown up. We've all moved on,” he said.

Beady Eye release their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' later this month.
