Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher says the Godlike Genius prize he was given at last night’s NME Awards was long overdue.

The former Oasis frontman received the honour six years after his brother Noel, which really annoyed him.

Rapper J Hus beat the likes of Lorde, Wolf Alice and Gorillaz to the best album prize at last night’s NME Awards, for his debut Common Sense.

Other winners included Alt J who were named best British band, Charli XCX who got best single for Boys – and Liam Gallagher who was given the Godlike Genius honour.

Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson received the Icon prize, and called on everyone to do more to support equal rights for women
