Oasis rock star Liam Gallagher is to marry his long-term girlfriend Nicole Appleton, it has been reported.
All Saints singer Appleton told the Daily Mirror she would be marrying Gallagher, her partner of eight years, in a small-scale ceremony.
She told the newspaper: "It's important to me and I love the idea of being married."
She continued: "When I see him strutting on to the stage I don't recognise him. He's like a lion tamer and with a crack of the whip he controls the fans.
"He can't do that to me. At home, I'm the lion tamer. Definitely."
The couple have a six-year-old son, Gene. Gallagher also has two other children from previous relationships, including a son with his former wife, the actress and singer Patsy Kensit.
Wedding guests will include Gallagher's brother and bandmate Noel and Appleton's sister Natalie, with her husband Liam Howlett of the Prodigy.
Appleton also revealed the Gallagher brothers were getting on better after years of bickering.
