Liam Gallagher has promised to continue with his raucous ways and neck booze until he’s 80.
The former Oasis frontman, 49, recently insisted he’d be giving up alcohol in preparation for the his upcoming Knebworth gigs but insists he’ll be partying again after the shows.
He said in Sky documentary Liam Gallagher: 48 Hours At Rockfield: ‘I am not into yoga and I don’t eat tofu. I drink lager and I like to have a good time. I don’t punish myself into being some super-skinny dude.

‘I am what I am. I am not a 50-year-old going round preaching. I will be like this when I am f**king 80, hopefully.’
Elsewhere, in the programme, Liam revealed Oasis secretly split in the nineties, long before they finally went their separate ways in 2009.
While making their 1995 album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, Liam and his brother Noel, 54, had a huge fight after going to the pub.

Liam said: ‘We were there about six months.
‘We split up, then we got back together. There was a bit of fighting, there was a cricket bat, there was an air pistol, there was lots of drinking.’
Liam was seen back at the recording studios in the documentary – which aired on Sky Max, Sky Arts and streaming service Now on Monday – laying down tracks for his third solo album C’Mon You Know, out Friday.
He was also seen enjoying some downtime in the nearby pub with his sons Lennon, 22, and Gene, 20.

It comes after Liam claimed he’s going to ‘stay out of trouble’ before his mammoth shows at Knebworth Park in June, which will be the biggest of his solo career.
He told The Sun: ‘I’ve got a month to prepare for Knebworth so I’m going to stay out of trouble, stay in the house, chill out, eat well, do some exercise, and not drink alcohol or do any of that nonsense.
‘As you get older you’ve got to prepare right for these gigs. You can’t be going there like you’re 20 otherwise it’ll sound s**t and people pay a lot of money, so I’ve got to prepare right.’
Showing that he’s taking the gigs seriously, Liam also shared that the teetotal change was only for the shows, continuing: ‘There’s plenty of time to get p***ed and get high, do that later on.’
The sold out shows are taking place at Hertfordshire’s Knebworth Park, the stately home where Oasis famously played back in 1996.

To commemorate the iconic time, Liam will be playing some Oasis classics at the concerts – but flying solo this time.
Opening up about the performance, the singer said jt was going to be ‘biblical’ and explained how ‘amazing’ it is that people still want to see him perform.
The band split up back in 2009 after a feud between Liam and his brother Noel reportedly led to the departure of the latter, ultimately splitting up the band.
But Liam is still keen to remember their iconic performances and bring the songs back to life.
Explaining his excitement, Liam continued: ‘Obviously it’s not Oasis but I’ll be playing Oasis songs, we’re going to come at it from a different angle and I can’t wait, man.’
In total, 160,000 fans will be in the crowd to see Liam on stage across the two shows, which are set to take place on June 3 and 4.
