Five years after falling out with his brother Noel, which ultimately led to the break up of rock band Oasis, Liam Gallagher is at it again but this time it is with his music manager.

The now front man of Beady Eye has decided to part company with the highly influential music impressario Scott Rodger, who was employed to turnaround the band's fortunes.

Gallagher initially drafted in Rodger - who also manages Sir Paul McCartney and Arcade Fire - to boost their profile following lukewarm reviews of their first album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', but it appears the pair have now parted ways.

A source told The Sun: "It's a shock that Liam has left Scott. He has a lot of influence. Beady Eye hired him to rejuvenate their career after their first album didn't do as well as hoped.

"Scott put in a lot of hard work on the second album and persuaded Liam to play Oasis songs live again."

It is thought Liam's girlfriend Debbie Gwyther will fill the role as Beady Eye's temporary manager while they look for a replacement for Scott.

The band recently axed their performance at America's Coachella Festival in April and appear in to be limbo following a difficult year in 2013, which drummer Chris Sharrock described as Beady Eye's "annus horriblis".
