Liam Gallagher<\/a> has been left unwell after being struck down by a brutal illness. The Oasis<\/a> legend revealed that he didn’t “remember asking Santa” for norovirus<\/a> as part of his Christmas<\/a> wish list.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old told his online fans that he’s spent the past two days on the toilet. But Liam was very quick to reassure his dedicated fans that he would make a full recovery and that there was “light” at the end of the tunnel for him. The festive period had been intended to be a break for Liam and his Oasis bandmates, after Gem Archer<\/a> revealed that there could be more plans for the mega group in the New Year.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Don’t remember asking Santa for NUROVIRUS b*******t LG x,” he fumed to his 3.7 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter<\/a>. One fan replied, asking Liam if he’d been spending a considerable amount of time in the bathroom, to which the Burnage-born musician replied: “Last 2 days Rkid hopefully there is a s****e I mean light at the end of the tunnel.”<\/p>\n

Liam later explained he was suffering in “ends he didn’t know existed.” When one fan asked if Liam had received any treats this Christmas, he quipped back: “Is that a trick question?” But while many were tucking into their dinner on Thursday, for Liam it was very different.<\/p>\n

He confirmed that he didn’t eat a single thing on December 25 due to his illness. It comes after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) urged Brits to stay at home for 48 hours if they experienced any symptoms of the virus, which is “spreading easily.”<\/a><\/p>\n

In a post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, the UKHSA said: “Norovirus spreads easily, so if you catch it you should stay home for 48 hours after symptoms stop.” They went on to add: “Washing your hands regularly with soap and warm water can help you stop catching it and passing it on if you do get sick.<\/p>\n

“If you catch norovirus, don’t go to work or school for 48 hours after symptoms stop, as you can still pass it on during this time. Do not visit loved ones in hospital or care homes in this time to avoid causing outbreaks.”<\/p>\n

Symptoms include a sudden feeling of nausea and urge to vomit, forceful vomiting and diarrhoea, but can also include a high temperature, stomach pain and aching limbs.<\/p>\n

The incubation period for norovirus typically ranges from 12 to 48 hours. This is the interval between contracting the virus and the onset of symptoms. The NHS<\/a> warns that norovirus can spread quickly through close contact with an infected individual, or by touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated, followed by touching your mouth.<\/p>\n

Food that’s been prepared or handled by someone who’s under the weather can also become a hotbed for the virus. And unlike with other illnesses, alcohol-based hand gels do not kill norovirus.<\/p>\n

Norovirus can typically be managed at home by ensuring the patient gets plenty of rest and stays hydrated to prevent dehydration. People usually start to recover within two to three days. However, if your vomit starts resembling ground coffee, contains blood, or takes on a green or yellow-green hue, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical help.<\/p>\n
