Liam Gallagher has beefed up security at his £4million North London mansion, days before the Oasis reunion tour kicks off.
Last year the musician put in a planning application to build a swimming pool and a bigger security fence at his mansion.
And new pictures show workmen starting work at the front of the five bedroom home which Liam moved into five years ago.
The Oasis singer snapped up the mock Tudor property with fiancée Debbie Gwyther in 2020 after moving out of his former home, a £2.1million terrace, in Highgate – reportedly after quarrelling with neighbours.
With five bedrooms, sprawling landscaped gardens and several hand-carved fireplaces, the home was purchased by Liam for an estimated £4million.
The star has been making big changes to the propety over the past year with the 2024 planning application also revealing that he planned to get rid of his party wigwam in the back garden to make way for a summerhouse and sunloungers around the pool.
Liam was previously given the green light to install new external doors and complete internal alterations as well as refurbishment works which included a new bar.
The house boasts five bedrooms, a library and a huge back garden, perfect for entertaining in.
Materials for construction of the house were thought to have come from a show home created for the British Empire Exhibition in 1924 and the local council put the property on its heritage list because of its ‘historical significance’.
It is the first home the musician and Debbie, his former personal assistant, have bought together.
Its previous owner was KC Dinah Rose, a human rights barrister who was set to become president of Magdalen College, Oxford, at the time.
Liam and his brothers Noel and Paul were raised by single-mum Peggy in a humble semi-detached property in Burnage, Greater Manchester.
But after finding fame with Oasis in the mid-nineties he moved into a penthouse in affluent north London suburb Muswell Hill, before relocating to nearby Hampstead.
The property was sold in 2014, with Gallagher subsequently moving to Highgate Village, a stones throw from his two favourite pubs – The Prince Of Wales and The Gatehouse.
Noel meanwhile resided in an iconic house dubbed Supernova Heights in the nineties, with the property becoming an epicentre for the band’s raucous parties.
Liam reportedly left his former home, a £2.1million pad in Highgate, following arguments with neighbours.
The loudmouth singer denied he had described locals there as ‘prats’ but appeared to be seeking a more sedate lifestyle at his new home.
Liam’s fiancée Debbie has been credited with encouraging the Oasis star to ‘keep performing’ – ahead of the band’s highly-anticipated reunion tour.
Debbie has been in a relationship with the frontman for 10 years, after they met in 2013 when she worked as his personal assistant after taking a job with his then management company Quest.
After Liam divorced All Saints singer Nicole Appleton in 2014, the two began a relationship, going on to get engaged in 2019, when Liam proposed during a trip to the Amalfi coast in Italy.
The band – which Liam forms with his brother Noel – are back this summer with a series of reunion concerts in the UK and abroad.
A new book A Sound So Very Loud reveals how Liam was on the verge of moving to Majorca to retire and quit music until Debbie changed his mind.
The book was written by journalist Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain, with Ted recalling how he met Liam in a London pub in 2016 just two years after his group Beady Eye disbanded.
Ted writes in the book in an extract shared with The Mirror: ‘In the pub, over pints, Liam explained what had been going on for the past two years. He’d spent a while in freefall.’
‘He had tumbled out of the bubble to such an extent that for a while, he considered jacking it all in and moving to Majorca, living ‘Sexy Beast-style’
‘Debbie also firmly reminded him that he was the greatest rock ‘n’ roll frontman of his generation, he was only 43 and there was lots of mileage left on his engine.’
According to the book, Liam then explained: ‘She just told me to stop being a d**khead. She got me out the house, introduced me to new people outside my world, got me doing new things.’
Meanwhile Oasis have arrived in Cardiff ahead of the first gig of their hotly-anticipated reunion tour, after a last minute change to the plans.
The iconic Britpop band will perform stadium shows for the first time in 15 years across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, South Korea and North, Central and South America, where it will conclude with a show at São Paulo’s Estádio do Morumbi on November 23.
