Liam Gallagher shares emotional image from first meeting with daughter

OASIS LEGEND Liam Gallagher has shared an emotional snapshot of himself alongside his daughter Molly on Instagram.

The image, which was taken backstage at a gig in London, came as part of an emotional night for the Britpop legend.

Not only did Gallagher open the night for his rock'n'roll heroes The Rolling Stones, but he also came face to face with Molly for the first time in 19 years.

The 21-year-old model is Liam's eldest child from a previous relationship with Lisa Moorish, who the singer slept with just a couple of months after marrying Patsy Kensit.

Moorish was an old flame of Gallagher's, with the pair thought to have rekindled their on-off romance during Oasis' Be Here Now world tour.

Born in March 1998, Gallagher was not named as Molly's father on her birth certificate, while Moorish tried to dispel the rumours by claiming Elastica drummer Justin Welch was the father.

The truth soon came out though, with Gallagher agreeing to pay £2,000 a month in child support to Moorish as a result.

Last month, the Oasis icon revealed to the Daily Mirror that he had never really met Molly, his daughter, over two decades on from her birth.

"I've just never got around to meeting her. I've heard she's all right, though. She's doing all right," he said.

"I never heard anything that she wanted to meet me."

That situation has changed now with Liam pictured alongside his daughter and his two younger sons, Lennon and Gene.

In a previous interview with GQ, Gallagher insisted Molly is "welcome in my world" despite the distance that exists between the pair.

"The girl's been looked after and clothed and fed and sent to lovely schools. I bought them a house and all that tack. I just think she's best off with her mum."
