Liam Gallagher achieved both fame and notoriety as the lead singer of Oasis, the band who practically defined Brit-pop in the 1990s. In 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 beginning with the 2003 single "Songbird." The siblings split in 2009, leading Liam to take the remaining members of Oasis and 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, issued in 2020. 2022 brought the simultaneous release of a third studio album, C'Mon You Know, and another live album, River [Live from Down by the River Thames}.
