The Dublin Castle pub in Camden is choked with cigarette smoke and the crack of pool balls. Under a single amber bulb, a twenty-three-year-old Liam Gallagher slouches at the bar, his leather jacket rumpled, a half-finished pint shaking in his grip. Across the room, Damon Albarn's laughter cuts through the noise. Liam's jaw clenches. His brother Noel leans in close, hissing through his teeth, 'Don't even think about it.'

Liam looks up, and his breath hitches.
