Liam Gallagher, the iconic lead singer of Oasis, has shared a warm message to the residents of the Cotswolds as he prepares to settle into his new home. The 53-year-old musician took to X (formerly Twitter) to assure his future neighbors in the small village of Coates, near Cirencester, “I come in peace.”
Gallagher recently purchased a sprawling £4.25 million property that formerly belonged to former Arsenal captain and manager Tony Adams. Nestled just four miles outside Cirencester, the house marks a significant move for the rock star, who emphasized that he intends to keep a low profile in the quiet community.
In an early morning message on January 24, Gallagher wrote: “To all the BEAUTIFUL people from the Cotswolds, I come in peace. You won’t even know I’m there, I’m not like all those divvy celebrities who like to show off, I’m LO FI.”

Locals have expressed a range of reactions to the news of the famed musician joining their village. One resident welcomed him warmly, remarking, “It’s a friendly village so we’ll make him welcome. I’m sure he’ll have a very nice time here, even if it’s just his country residence. And we’ll be excited if we see him and his family.”
Others appreciated Gallagher’s choice to invest in the area. “Good for him. He’s got a nice house there, by the looks of it. If that’s how he wants to spend his millions and millions of pounds, then fair enough,” commented another neighbor.
Not all sentiments were positive, however. A more skeptical resident admitted, “Oh, that idiot? I don’t like him, I can’t stand Oasis. But I’m not bothered where he lives.”
Meanwhile, fans and locals alike engaged with Gallagher’s post on X. When one admirer asked, “Any chance of a pic and a natter with you then, as I live nearby?,” Gallagher playfully replied, “Nooooooooooooo, only kidding.”
With this move, Liam Gallagher appears set to embrace the tranquility of countryside life while maintaining his signature candid charm. His message of peace and low-key presence suggests a respectful integration into the Cotswolds community.
