Liam Gallagher says falling out of a helicopter was ‘an act of God’ 

Liam Gallagher suffered a nasty facial injury after falling out of a helicopter following his gig at the Isle of Wight Festival last month.

Speaking on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X on Friday, the singer, 49, described the life-threatening incident as ‘an act of God’ and said his ‘nose has come back bigger and better’.  

The Oasis band member also joked to host Chris Moyles that if he could choose ‘a way to go’ it would be falling out of a helicopter.

‘You know when I fell out the helicopter the other day, I said it was an act of God,’ Liam said. ‘It was an act of God! My nose has come back bigger and better!’

Ever the optimist, Liam, who has had a headline-grabbing rock and roll career, joked that he if could choose a ‘way to go’, it would be falling out of a helicopter. 

‘What a way to go, if it would have been. Tell you what, I wouldn’t have minded going that way. It’s better than slipping on a chopstick innit?

‘Banging your head on the TV, remote control and all that, that’s a crap way to go innit? Falling out of a helicopter’s alright. I’d have bought that. If that was written in the stars, I’d have had that.’
