‘I am not getting married with a mask on’: Liam Gallagher reveals his Italian summer wedding with Debbie Gwthyer has been pushed back a year
Liam Gallagher has postponed his wedding because he doesn’t want to cover his face with a mask while saying his vows.
The 47-year-old rocker was due to marry his long-time girlfriend Debbie Gwyther in Italy over the summer.
He insisted in March that their big day would still be going ahead even when the country was in full lockdown.

But now he has admitted it won’t take place until next year as he’s unhappy with some public safety measures.
Speaking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2, he said: ‘It’s been put back now until next year because I think we had to wear masks and stuff and I am not getting married with a mask on.’
The Oasis frontman insisted just three months ago that he wouldn’t be changing his wedding plans.

Asked on Twitter whether coronavirus will influence his wedding plans, Liam replied: ‘She ain’t getting off that lightly ha ha.’
Then, another follower on social media asked: ‘How’s the wedding planning going?’
And the rocker – who proposed to Debbie whilst on holiday on the Amalfi Coast in 2019 – said: ‘All good.’
Meanwhile, Liam previously revealed he was planning to take dance lessons ahead of his wedding.

The Wonderwall singer – who was previously married to Patsy Kensit and Nicole Appleton – was keen to learn some different moves that he wanted to show off at his reception.
He said: ‘I’m going to get dance lessons beforehand.
‘I’m gonna f***ing flamenco it up. We will be doing salsa all round the room.’
Liam also revealed he’s planning to wear a black suit on his big day.
He said: ‘Debbie’s going to have a Mariah Carey moment and change into an evening outfit.’
Looking ahead to the big day, the outspoken rock star added: ‘It can’t be one of those dos when you’re gagging for a drink.’

Elsewhere in his interview with Zoe Ball, Liam shared what he has been up to during lockdown.
He said: ‘Well I’ve been getting absolutely drunk quite a bit and other than that I’ve not been doing much, I’ve dabbled with a bit of DIY and then I didn’t do it.
‘I was going to stain a table but then I put it off. My motto was, if you want something doing, get someone else to do it.’
He also discussed his lockdown look, after recently shaving off his beard.
Liam said: ‘The hair’s growing man, I’m going to grow it a little bit longer, I’m not going to grow it super long like a hippy and that but I’m going to grow it a bit. It’s looking good man. But the beard’s back in the dressing up box.’
