Liam Gallagher has admitted he thrives on attention as he hits Twitter again to claim he is 'seriously gutted' for fans who didn't get Oasis tickets - and says he gets 'a massive kick' out of critics who hate that the band are back together.
The aging rock star, 51, has been savaged by furious followers yesterday after he told them to 'shut up' over the sky-high cost of upcoming gigs - as they accused him of forgetting his roots following last week's battle to get seats.
In a series of boisterous posts on Twitter, now X, this morning, he sympathized with unlucky music-lovers who had failed to secure passes, and jokingly opened up about his relationship with warring-brother Noel and their mother, Peggy. Speaking about next year's shows, he said the first chord would be 'BIBLICAL'.
But he revelled in the hate he has received following the announcement of the group's reunion after 15 years estranged - and says he wants to 'go out with a bang'.
Replying to dozens of fans in a social media spree, he said he would 'see how much trouble I can get myself into' as he answered their questions with characteristic subtlety.
To one, Niamh Bell, who asked 'how much do you love the attention RKid', he said: 'I'll be honest with you I absolutely f*****g THRIVE on it.'

Speaking to another, who asked what his favourite thing was about the reunion, he added: 'Obviously it's great for my mam and the family and the fans but I get a massive kick knowing there's people out there that HATE we're back together and I hope they cry hard every day.'
And to superfan Julie, who had hit back against critics accusing Liam of 'doing it for the money', he attacked the suggestions as 'just not true'.
He said: 'There's lots of reasons for doing it family fans music biblical vibrations and curly wurlys as that's what I'm getting paid in so all those money rumours are just not true.'
Followers of the 90s band were sent into overdrive last week as Oasis announced they would tour the UK, playing Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh.
Oasis announced on Wednesday evening two extra dates after what they called 'unprecedented demand'.
But many lost out as they tried to get tickets - with sites booting them to the back of the queue after being mistaken for bots, touts reselling them for thousands, and some sites doubling ticket prices from around £148 to £355.
In a more heartfelt response to one unlucky fan, he said: 'I'm seriously gutted for people that can't get tickets.

'I can't even go there it hurts my heart and I know people will think I'm taking the p**s but I'm not I want to celebrate this biblical moment with everyone I gotta go I'm sorry.'
To another, who said he was 'chucked off' the site as he tried to get tickets to one of the Manchester shows, he said that it was 'not cool'.
A demure Liam penned: 'Rkid if that's what happened I'm sure someone will be in touch coz that ain't cool good luck.'
The estranged brothers split after Noel walked out on the group following a row in Paris - following years of public battles.
They finally put their feud to one side as they were seen together for the first time in black and white photos to promote their mammoth tour around the UK and Ireland.
Sources said that they were 'laughing and joking' on the set after years apart.
And responding to fans Liam appeared to make light of their past battles. He said during the tour he would be 'blowing him kisses in between each song'.
To one, who asked if they were 'still fighting', he said: 'He's very happy he won't stop texting me first thing in the morning last thing at night I'm like f*****g hell man chill out or I'll have to get restraining order out bumbaclart.'
Joking to a second, he added: 'Next ...
