Liam Gallagher achieved both fame and notoriety as the lead singer of Oasis, the band who defined Britpop in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, Gallagher began stepping out of the shadow of his brother Noel (the songwriter who penned most of Oasis' hits), contributing original tunes to the band starting with the 2003 single "Songbird." The siblings split in 2009, leading Liam to take the remaining members of Oasis to form Beady Eye. Once that group ran its course, Gallagher launched a solo career in 2017 with As You Were, a number one hit in the U.K. Sophomore LP Why Me? Why Not. also topped the British charts, and he followed with an MTV Unplugged set, released in 2020.
