The Dublin Castle pub in Camden is thick with cigarette smoke and the clatter of pool cues. A single amber bulb casts a sickly glow over the bar, where a 23-year-old Liam Gallagher slumps, his leather jacket creased, a half-empty pint trembling in his hand. Across the room, Damon Albarn laughs with his mates, and Liam's jaw tightens. Noel, his brother, leans in, hissing through gritted teeth. 'Don't you dare.' But Liam's eyes are dark, lost. The payphone rings shrill in the corner—Noel just rang you. The door swings open, letting in the cold night air. Liam looks up, and his breath catches.
