Beady Eye to perform on ‘X Factor’

Despite having previously lambasted the show in the press, Beady Eye’s Liam Gallagher has revealed that his band is due to appear on ‘The X Factor’.

It appears that the former Oasis frontman has admitted the viewing figures are just too good an opportunity to pass up, even though he has called the show “fucking annoying”.

In an interview with The Mirror, Gallagher said: “We’re doing ‘X Factor’, I think it’s to be on one of the live shows. I don’t care man, we’re rock and roll stars and you can’t argue that’s a huge audience. You have to take that opportunity.”

The singer also commented about the talent contests most famous sons, One Direction, saying:  “I mean, they’re not rock stars are they? Harry’s alright though. I met him at the Olympics and I just said to him, ‘Keep on keeping on’.

“He knows what’s happening, but he’s nothing like me. I’m a proper rock and roll star.”
