Liam Gallagher has said that Oasis’ split last year was the best outcome for his former bandmates.

The singer, who is currently recording his debut album with new band Beady Eye, said it had given everybody more freedom.

“In hindsight it was the best thing that’s ever happened, because we’re free to do whatever we want,” Gallagher told the New York Times.

The singer, who was still not spoken to his brother, Noel, also discussed his fashion label, Pretty Green, during the interview.

“I don’t want just anybody wearing it,” he said. “And people go, ‘Oh, beggars can’t be choosers.’

“Well, I ain’t a beggar, you know what I mean?”

He added that he was “not Victoria Beckham”, and had no plans to attend any fashion shows.
