Liam Gallagher has hit back at Peter Kay for an insult the comic aimed at him during the Brit Awards. *Warning: This story contains numerous asterisks* Liam swore and hurled a microphone as he accepted Oasis's award for the best Brits album of the past 30 years for (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, and also handed the award to the audience. The surly performance prompted host Peter to remark to the audience and millions of viewers: "What a k******d", as he left the stage. But Liam has since ranted on Twitter: "Regarding Peter Kay's comment... Listen up fat f*** as a real northerner I was brought up 2 say s*** 2 people's faces not behind their back." He signed the message off with: "Live forever LG." A Facebook group set up in appreciation of Kay's remark has gathered more than 98,000 fans. Liam capped his controversial night at the Brits on Tuesday night by asking to go off and take 'loads of class A drugs'. He was interviewed by his wife Nicole Appleton for ITV2's live backstage coverage. Just as the interview came to an end, Liam left his wife red-faced as he blurted out: "It was nice, it was nice. Now can we all take loads of class A drugs?" On stage, Liam had thanked former Oasis bandmates - but notably left his brother Noel, who walked out last August, off the list. Liam told the crowd: "Listen kids... the best bands in the f****** world live forever." He later said in his interview with Appleton: "If we're going to f****** get invited then I'm going to turn up and have it and I'm going to f****** like play the game."
