Liam Gallagher hits back at reports he is retiring from music

Liam Gallagher has dismissed reports that he is retiring from music.

Gallagher, 43, responded to claims in The Sun which reported that the former Oasis frontman told a fan that he had quit making music.

The publication quoted the star as saying: "I am retired now. I can write 25 songs but all of them will be s**t".

He also hinted at a possible retirement as he live tweeted the BRIT Awards last month, posting: "Music in the UK has been abducted by massive c***s... Thank f**k I got out when I got out".

But a spokesperson for the singer has dismissed the claims telling NME: "In true tabloid style it's not true".

In January Gallagher appeared to rule out the possibility of going solo following the break-up of his band Beady Eye in 2014.

Responding to his brother Noel's suggestion that he should go solo, he tweeted: “Solo record are you f*****g tripping d**khead I’m not a c**t LG X.”
