In a very unlikely revelation, Beady Eye singer and former Oasis man Liam Gallagher has declared that he is - brace yourselves folks - a Belieber.

Gallagher has nothing but respect for the young Canadian heartthrob's wild ways, ie. arriving late for gigs. "Anyone who goes on two hours late is fucking right in my book, man", Gallagher the Younger told Shortlist. "All these so-called rock bands that sit backstage going, 'Hey, let's wait 15 minutes'. Fuck that, wait two hours and 15 minutes! No one will beat that, ever. So get off his back, man — I am a Belieber!"

Perhaps even more shockingly, Liam also recently revealed that the forthcoming Beady Eye album was written "with a clear head", and that he's turned his back on the drugs he enjoyed in his '90s heyday.

"We had a new-found focus when we were writing it", he revealed. "We really got our heads down and got our shit together – clear heads, none of that crap from the '90s."

Find out if the drugs indeed don't work, when BE, the second album from Gallagher's Beady Eye, hits shelves on June 10.
