Liam Gallagher is happy for Charli XCX and Sam Fender for their BRIT Award wins, but says that he doesn’t tune in to watch.Last night’s (March 1) ceremony saw comedian and actor Jack Whitehall returning to host the show for the first time since 2021 and the fifth time overall.The biggest winner of the night was Charli XCX, who beat the likes of The Last Dinner Party and The Cure for the prestigious Album Of The Year, as well as picking up Artist Of The Year and Best Dance Act, Songwriter Of The Year and Song Of The Year for ‘Guess‘, her collaboration with Billie Eilish.Elsewhere, Fender picked up the award for Best Alternative/Rock Act off the back of his record-breaking album ‘People Watching‘.One person who wasn’t watching, though, was the Oasis frontman, who responded to one fan on Twitter/X this morning asking if he had seen the ceremony by saying: “I don’t even watch when I’m FORCED to play them”Another fan then replied, asking if Gallagher was at least happy for Fender, to which he replied: “Yep and I think Charlie xcx deserves her flowers”Yep and I think Charlie xcx deserves her flowers— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) March 2, 2025Fans then began to question if Gallagher even felt this way back when Oasis were sweeping the ceremony. “What about when you were there?” one fan asked, to which Liam quickly quipped “Yeah still shit”.To another, he gave further reasoning for his reluctance to tune in these days, saying: “ITV have ruined it” and that it would take “a fully loaded pea shooter to the bollox” to get him to actually watch.And, it turns out he won’t be attending next year, post-Oasis reunion, either.
