Liam Gallagher is suing a US newspaper which reported that he was embroiled in a case in a New York court over allegations that he fathered a child during a one-night stand.
A spokesman for the former Oasis frontman refused to comment on the story but confirmed that his lawyers are taking legal action against the New York Post for reporting the claims.
