‘Liam is super proud and has listened to his songs – he’s always around to offer advice.’

Lennon – who is named after The Beatles star John Lennon – has forged a successful career on the catwalk as a model already.

He admits that he enjoys being in the limelight after growing up with famous parents.

He previously said: ‘I grew up with my mum being an actress. Also my dad is a musician.

‘I just like being in front of the camera – as cheesy as that sounds.’

British rock group Oasis were active from 1991–2009, fronted by Liam and his brother – Lennon’s uncle – Noel Gallagher.

The band became immersed in drama in 2009 when Liam contracted laryngitis. Oasis had to cancel their V Festival gig as a result, with Noel saying his brother had a hangover.

This led to Liam suing Noel, a slew of further gigs getting cancelled and Noel eventaually quitting the band.

‘It is with some sadness and great relief…I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer,’ he said in a statement. 

Liam and the remaining members of Oasis changed their name to Beady Eye, releasing two further albums until their breakup in 2014. Liam later started a solo career and has released two studio albums.

He previously recalled how John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono told him it was ‘silly’ to name his son after The Beatles rocker.

The Shockwave singer met Yoko in 1999, the same year his eldest son Lennon was born, and has claimed the artist – who was married to John until he was shot dead in 1980 – thought the memorable moniker was ridiculous.

The 48-year-old star said: ‘Yoko said, ‘I’ve heard you’ve called your son Lennon’.

‘I said, ‘Yeah’, she said, ‘Why? Do you not think it’s a bit of a silly name?’

‘And I said, ‘No, it’s a bit silly being called Yoko isn’t it? So Lennon it is.’ ‘
