Liam Gallagher’s no Yoga star

Liam Gallagher once walked out of a yoga class after getting "stuck" in an awkward position.
The former Oasis frontman – who wakes up in the early hours to fit in a run everyday – says he won’t set foot in class again after the embarrassing incident.
He quipped to NME magazine: "I done yoga once and I got stuck.
"The little geezer was laughing at me, so I thought, I’m taking my mat and I’m off."
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old rocker – who was crowned Godlike Genius at the NME Awards on Wednesday (14.02.18) – has teased that his second solo album will be more "In-yer-face" and "less apologetic".
Asked what fans can expect from the follow-up to last year’s ‘As You Were’, he said: "A bit more in-yer-face. Less apologetic.
"I’d love to do a proper out-and-out punk rock album – a bit Pistols, a bit Stooges.
"I can do that gear; I can definitely sing ’em."
The ‘Bold’ singer admits that songs like ‘For What It’s Worth’ where he has to control his vocals can be a bit hard to pull off and that he is "all for" the pure punk rock tracks were he just "spits out" the words.
He explained: "Some of the sing-y songs are a bit of a struggle when I do ’em live.
"But the lippy ones I can do all day long. The ones where you spit ’em out. You’re not necessarily singing, you’re just f**king screaming and shouting. I’m all for that."
Liam said that he had doubts about his first solo record, and feared he’d have to take up being a seamstress at his fashion label Pretty Green if it "bombed:
He confessed: "I thought the album might bomb…that people might have had enough of me and I’d have to start f**king sewing at Pretty Green [his fashion label].
"If the album bombs, you can’t do gigs. The second Beady Eye one didn’t f**king work. The gigs were getting smaller. That’s why we knocked it on the head.
"There was no point doing a third one – we’d be playing f**king pubs."
