8 Musicians Who Publicly Made Idiots Of Themselves

7. Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher The feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher is well known and included a lot of arguing and several fights, one of which allegedly involved a cricket bat. This ongoing war of words and cricket bats was not entirely unusual behaviour for musicians and was largely kept behind closed doors, meaning that neither of the brothers publicly made fools of themselves. But at the 2010 Brit Awards, Liam decided to take an altogether more childish potshot at his brother. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YE8eOSK08M He deliberately snubbed Noel in his acceptance speech for the award for Brit Album Of 30 Years like a scene in a bad sitcom, deliberately pausing after mentioning all of the other members of Oasis before rounding off his display of petulance by throwing both his microphone and the award into the audience and then swaggering offstage. The show€™s host Peter Kay deadpanned €œWhat a knobhead€ afterwards and repeated the insult on Twitter, causing Gallagher to respond by calling him a €œFat f***€. You can€™t buy class like that. Though, come to think of it, you probably wouldn€™t want to.
