One employee then managed to get Starkey in a headlock for "some minutes", the court heard.

“I believe that the staff should have been more patient with the males,” he said. In my opinion, both sides could have handled the situation better.” “Mr Starkey and Mr Gallagher now have a strong case to the effect that Mr Starkey was lawfully defending himself and Mr Gallagher was lawfully defending Mr Starkey,” said Mr Agbamu. An independent eyewitness said she “saw a member of the Tesco staff hitting and grabbing Mr Starkey and appearing to target him” and said the CPS had now concluded the ensuing brawl could have been justified. She said prosecutors now accept the Tesco staff “over-reacted”. She added: “This doesn’t diminish to a great extent the bad behaviour.” Prosecutor Alexander Agbamu told Wood Green Crown Court the incident began when Ponte was accused of stealing a can of pre-mixed alcohol and Gallagher and Starkey were then said to have delivered “kicks and punches” to shop workers who intervened.

When asked about his comments by Loudwire Nights host Toni Gonzalez, Gallagher said: "I mean, not all of them are [useless], but the majority of them are. And 20% of it is kind of classic, like Everything's Electric." I'd rather be that than f****** some politically correct f****** idiot." Obviously, you've got a certain degree of, your tunes have gotta be decent enough, but I think attitude goes a long way. It's like U2, they pass themselves as a rock 'n' roll band, but what the? 80% of the record is a bit peculiar.
Following the release of his third solo album, Liam Gallagher has shared a new single 'C'mon You Know', which serves as the stonking LP's title track.
As the name suggests, the show was recorded on a barge for a live-stream event in December 2020. Elsewhere, Gallagher will release a new live album, Down By The River Thames on May 27th. The track comes after the preview single ‘Everything’s Electric’, which saw the ex-Oasis frontman deliver a boisterous slice of melody-driven rock clearly designed to pack stadiums with nostalgic teenagers.

“It’s gonna be biblical,” Gallagher said of the shows in an Instagram post. “C’mon You Know” follows the release of single “Everything’s Electric,” which was co-written by Dave Grohl — who also plays drums on the track — and produced by Greg Kurstin. Gallagher performed the song at the Brit Awards in February. Gallagher dubbed the track “the sound of the summer” on Twitter, teasing an upcoming music video starring actor Rory Kinnear. The song is notably upbeat, with the musician singing, ““C’mon, you know it’s gonna be alright/And we’re gonna dance all night/C’mon on you know/Get up, stand up if you feel alive/I only wanna see you smile.”
The Oasis alum's LP of the same name is out soon.

Mr Agbamu explained that two days ago the prosecution were presented with “enhanced” CCTV by Starkey’s legal team, which showed a “lost part of phase 1”- the confrontation at the start.
