Beady Eye rocker Liam Gallagher has admitted that he once received a piece of memorabilia from one of his favourite bands for Christmas and it soon became his ultimate gift.

Gallagher is a huge fan of The Beatles' John Lennon, and even named his now 13-year-old son after the musician, and was given one of Lennon's acoustic guitars by his wife, Nicole Appleton:

"I'd say the best was when I got a John Lennon guitar. Off my missus. An acoustic, really nice acoustic guitar."

He also joked that he still receives boring presents such as "socks, slippers, I get all that s**t".

He will spend this year's holidays in New York City and added that because he now owns a property out there he intends to enjoy the festivities across the pond:

"I always have a good time at Christmas, definitely. I've got a gaff [house] in New York now, so I'm out there this time. In fact, I've spent a good couple of Christmases out there before; that's how I got the taste for it. I've got some unfinished business over there, as they say in the spirit world."
