He might be one of the biggest rock stars of the past 20 years, but it turns out that not even Liam Gallagher is immune to getting ID'd for a pack of fags at the corner shop.
The 44-year-old former Oasis frontman was left fuming after a shopkeeper refused to sell him cigarettes because he didn't have any proof of age. To be honest, at 44 we'd probably take that as a compliment.
But Liam was far from impressed and took to Twitter (as he often does) to vent his frustration.

"I've just been told I can't buy cigs unless I got ID im 4FUKIN4 has the world gone mad," he exclaimed to his 2 million followers.
Despite being able to sell out stadiums and performing a track called 'Cigarettes & Alcohol', Liam clearly wasn't on this particular shopkeeper's radar - he was forced to leave empty-handed and find his fags elsewhere.
Naturally, the tweet triggered a tsunami of replies, with many fans seizing the opportunity to get some Oasis-related jokes in there.

"Just roll with it mate, don't look back in anger," said one such response.
Liam's tweet comes on the same day the singer confirmed an Oasis reunion was still a long way off becoming a reality, and may never actually happen at all.

He's previously stated that he would be more than willing to be part of a reunion but his brother, Noel, is the one holding things back and that the pair would need to put their differences aside before anything could happen.
"We've got to start talking first before we can start talking about a band. Right now I'm fine," he told Billboard.
"Noel has sort of washed his hands of the lot. He wants to get on and do his solo stuff, which is fine."
As it stands, the brothers and former bandmates haven't spoken to each other since a bust-up in a Paris dressing room back in 2009.
