Liam Gallagher shares his opinion on Noel’s cover of Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’
Liam Gallagher has shared his opinion on brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher‘s recent cover of Joy Division‘s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.On Thursday (June 1), Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds performed a live cover of the Joy Division song as part of the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room series, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra. “I would play this song, this version of it, at home down the years,” he said.Gallagher expressed initial trepidation about performing his rendition: “I was like, ‘How can I get away with that?’ Because it’s such an iconic [song] and, being from Manchester… well, this is going to be tricky.”He added: “But now I’ve got my own studio, I went and did a little demo of it and I was like ‘You know what? I think I might be able to pull this off.’ So we’re going to do’‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ by the Divs.”Gallagher’s brother Liam was among those who took issue with the rendition.
