Liam Gallagher will invite brother Noel to his wedding β but admits it is only because βme mam told me toβ.
And in a move likely to stoke up the bitter split between the former Oasis duo, he confides it is the pairβs older brother, Paul, who will be his best man.
Sipping a vodka and soda in one of his favourite haunts close to his London home, Liam, 46, is sure the snub will not keep Noel away β because, he jibes: βHeβll go to the opening of anythingβ.
Liamβs 21-year-old daughter Molly Moorish, who he reunited with only last year, will be bridesmaid when he weds manager Debbie Gwyther next year.
Telling all in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror β as Debbieβs nephews run riot in the very down-to-earth setting of a CafΓ© Rouge in Highgate β the twice-married rocker declares: βThird time lucky.
βIβm ready to do it again. Iβm buzzing more than her. This oneβs going to be a big thing.β
Beatles-obsessed Liam says of his girlfriend of seven years: βShe is top, man. She is my little Yoko.β He proposed during a holiday on Italyβs Amalfi coast.
Liam says: βWeβd been talking about it for ages and Debbie was going, βIβm not too sure, I canβt be a***dβ.”
“The sun was coming down, we were having a drink and I went, βLook, shall we do it?β
βAnd sheβs like, βYeah, yeah, courseβ. I told my mam and me kids, she told her family, and everyone was buzzing.β
Debbie, 37, smiles and adds: βLiam asked for my dadβs permissionβ¦ in his own way. He texted him and said, βI want you to know Iβm marrying Debbie.”
βThen he messaged all the kids and our mates telling them we were getting marriedβ¦ before Iβd even said yes.β
Bizarrely, the singer reckons the couple are just like cartoon skunk PepΓ© Le Pew and his aloof love interest Penelope Pussycat.
Putting on a French accent, he says: βIβm all like, βOh, allo, darling, how are you?β And she is there with her tail up. Thatβs just how we are.β
The pair will take their self-written vows in front of 150 friends and family in Italy next summer.
Liam says it will be a world away from his low-key 1997 nuptials with first wife Patsy Kensit, or the time he wed former All Saint Nicole Appleton in 2008.
He tells me: βI never did it last time round, it was just a registry office. So weβre going to go for it.β
And he says his mother had one piece of advice: βDonβt be f***ing this one up.β
He says: βMy mam gets on really well with Debbie. Sheβs always been there. Every mum has their sonβs back, but sheβs given me a b*****king many times.”
βShe says, βLook, youβre a bit of a d***β, with the way I have treated people. Sheβs not all pro Liam.β
And what about Noel? Liam insists: βShe thinks Noel needs a f***ing clip. She says weβre as bad as each other, but she knows Iβve put olive branches out.”
βHe doesnβt really speak to her either, he doesnβt speak to Paul.”
βItβs not a band thing. All of this stuff about us not speaking because of the band, itβs nothing to do with that.”
βHe obviously thinks heβs cooler or better than us. But that would be hard because we are f***ing brilliant.β
Despite their war of words, Liam says dad-of-three Noel, 52, and wife Sara MacDonald will get an invite.
As another round of drinks arrives, he laughs: βOf course he will. My mam is like, βYouβve got to invite himβ. βAnd I will. Theyβll get a little envelope through the door.”
βThey wonβt comeβ¦ but you never know β like I said before, they go to the opening of anything so as soon as they open it, itβll be like, βCome on Noel, get your Dermot OβLeary outfit on, weβre going outβ.β
Liam was married to first wife Patsy for three years. They had a son, Lennon, who was 20 on Friday.
During that marriage, the rocker had an affair with fellow musician Lisa Moorish, who gave birth to daughter Molly, now 21. She was reunited with her famous dad last year after being estranged almost since birth.
Liam was also married to Nicole Appleton, 44, for six years, until their divorce in 2014. They have a son, Gene, 18.
So will those former loves be getting invites too? βGod, no,β he chokes. βThe exes wonβt be at the wedding. Iβm not like Rod Stewart. Thatβd be well weird. Just friends and family and the kids.β
He also rules out more children. βI havenβt got the energy, to be fair,β he says. β and Debbie isnβt too keen either.
βSheβd be a mega mum. If she really wanted, we would. But sheβs cool.β
Liam reckons his and Debbieβs first dance will be like βf***ing Strictly Come Dancingβ.
He reveals: βIβm going to get dance lessons beforehand.”
βIβm gonna f***ing flamenco it up. We will be doing salsa all round the room.β
But while he wants Neil Youngβs Harvest Moon or movie hit Greased Lightnin as first song, Debbie is rooting for You Gotta Be by Desβree.
Insisting the ceremony itself is βnot going to be religious, itβs more symbolicβ, he does confide that he will ditch his trademark parker for the day.”
βIβm going to wear a black suit,β he says. βDebbieβs going to have a Mariah Carey moment and change into an evening outfit.β
Thatβs as traditional as it gets. As we move on to the fourth round of vodka and sodas, he assures me: βIt canβt be one of those doβs when youβre gagging for a drink.β
Last year photos emerged of Liam and Debbie involved in a drunken βding dongβ β which proved a moment of strength for them both.
Liam recalls: βIt was horrible. She was reading about me and all my past, it wasnβt nice for her but she is still hanging about. She is still here for me.”
βAll the stuff sheβs been through with me, that was pressure β sheβd never been in the papers before. I think she deserves a lovely day.β
Turning down more drinks, Liam talks excitedly of his engagement next day as a surprise headliner at the Peaky Blinders festival in Digbeth, Birmingham. He is a huge fan.
In brilliant second solo album Why Me? Why Not β out on Friday β Liam sings about Debbie: βIβm good with my baby, sheβs all that I want. Sheβs filling up my sky like a halo round the sun.β
As I leave, Iβm unsure that warmth will ever extend to brother Noel.
