Liam Gallagher films on top of Manchester landmark - on the roof terrace that time forgot

Rock 'n' roll star Liam Gallagher made the most of the Manchester sunshiiiiiine - by filming his new single on top of one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Former Oasis frontman Liam had teased fans with news that he would be filming on a roof somewhere "up north" on Thursday.

And it didn't take long for fans to spot the location - up on t he "secret" roof terrace on top of Manchester's most historic hotel, The Midland on Peter Street. He was spotted with a film crew and band on the roof that has been closed to the public for over 100 years.

Liam had earlier tweeted to fans: "Doing a video shoot up NORTH for new single we’re gonna be on a roof so keep your Roy Kinnears pealed for the sound of the summer c’mon you know LFUKING x" He later added: "Sunshiiiiiiine" in an apparent nod to both the delightful weather in Manchester, and the iconic way he sang the word in classic Oasis tune Cigarettes and Alcohol.

The video shoot comes amid exciting times for Liam as a solo artist, with his third solo album C'Mon You Know due for release in May. The 49-year-old from Burnage is also preparing
