Liam Gallagher ‘eyeing up £3.5million house near former Blur rival Alex James’
SINGER Liam Gallagher is rumoured to be buying a £3.5million country house near former Blur rival Alex James.
Oasis rocker Liam, 50, is said to be joining the Chipping Norton set of celebrities after checking out the property in the Cotswolds.
