Liam Gallagher shocked fans on Saturday when he tweeted that he had fallen out of a helicopter following his gig at the Isle of Wight Festival the previous night.

The singer, 48, shared a selfie which exposed the results of the dangerous disaster, before joking that he would use it for his next album cover.

Ever the comedian, the Oasis bandmember wrote in accompaniment, 'So check this out I fell out the helicopter last night you couldn't rite it all good who said RnR is dead Keith moon eat your drum skin out C'mon you know LG x [sic].'

The photo exhibited multiple plasters and ointment which had been spread over his facial cuts, as well as a dried bloody nose.


Clearly taking things easy after the almost life-threatening incident, he went on to post a refreshing bottle of Estrella to his profile, featuring the caption, 'What doesn't kill ya makes ya TUFF GONG [sic].'[/i][/b]

Here's his version of the events, related in that nice way he has with words:

but it was not quite as he claimed:

He's not flying with Cathay any more either: http://www.stopcryingyourheartout.co.uk ... -rage.html

Liam Gallagher

Perhaps if they had been flying to Australia from the UK – a journey which can take up to 26 hours – you might excuse those bad boys from rock band, Oasis for being a bit fidgety. But in 1998, ahead of their tour of Australia, the band's members and their two dozen tag-alongs were making the much shorter journey from Hong Kong to Perth, on Australia's West Coast.

Apparently drunk before they got on board, lead singer Liam Gallagher defied the no-smoking policy on board the plane, and was promptly asked to stub out his cigarette. The Mancunian responded by throwing a hissy fit, thundering "obscene, offensive, and horribly abusive" language at other passengers.

While his brother Noel apparently slept, Gallagher began throwing food at those sat around him, encouraged by other band members, who promptly began raucous sing-alongs. The plane's captain threatened to conduct an emergency landing unless the group quietened down.

Eventually Gallagher led the stumbling entourage off the plane at Perth. Asked what he recalled of the event, he said: "Some panhead told me to shut up – some panhead who needs stabbing through the head with a **** pick-axe."

Following the flight, Cathay Pacific issued the Gallagher brothers and the rest of Oasis with a lifelong ban.


I have a complaint. Why didn't the pilot make sure he fell from a significant height like 30 or 40 feet? :ymdevil:

Sat next to the Chairman of Volvo on a trip from NY to Bermuda once. He said that the previous month he was on a BA flight from Brazil to London when one of the Rolling Stones was also aboard with two of his mates they proceeded to try and wreck first class and were a PIA. The Chairman of Volvo was actually on his way to Oz with BA,with a quick meeting at Heathrow on the way. BA refunded his first class fare for the entire trip Brazil to Oz and then back to Gothenburg. He did say that he was a very frequent traveller!

Does anyone have news of the condition of the ground? Is it OK?

You would think it would repel - I would.

I bought the album for the intro alone...
