George Michael defends Liam Gallagher after walk-out
George Michael has defended Liam Gallagher after the rocker walked out of the pop legend's gig in London after just 23 minutes.
The former Oasis frontman attended the concert at Earls Court on Saturday with his wife Nicole Appleton and a group of friends, but left the arena with his Beady Eye bandmate Andy Bell after just a few songs.
Gallagher's swift exit hit headlines, but the former Wham! star took to his Twitter.com page to insist he wasn't offended by the walk out.
In a series of posts, Michael writes, "Please don't hold it against Liam that he popped off to the bar at Saturday's show... He's a lovely guy and has always been really friendly to me...
"And very complimentary about my music... And anyway he was getting a load hassle from people who spotted him so it's not surprising he went for for a bevvy (drink)..."
what do you think?

What a lovely humble man George is.Typical of him to defend somebody in such a situation.

Maybe he thought the show was carp.

Let's be honest,neither of the Gallagher brothers are a fraction of the entertainer or have the voice of George Michael.I've seen both live,

How lovely of you to defend him George. He gives others hassle so he should be able to take it when it's dished out to him. Great to see George back.
