Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has said he will go “insane” if someone buys him another Beatles book for Christmas.

Gallagher made the remarked during an appearance Radio 1 when he was asked by DJ Zane Lowe if he had started to enjoy the quieter things in life.

“Oh, I can go man. I can still 'av it man. It's not pipe and slippers just yet,” Gallagher said.

“I'm sure there is a pair around the house, but I walk around the house naked and barefoot, man. That's me, mate. Slippers for Christmas. If I get one more Beatles book I'll go insane.”

The singer's admiration of the Beatles, and particularly John Lennon, is well documented.

Gallagher also admitted that he had relaxed since the band's early days when reports about Oasis' notorious rock'n'roll lifestyle filled the newspapers.

“Getting older chills you out, without a doubt, and you look around and you think, 'I'm glad to be here'. We're lucky to be doing this,” he said.
