| | | Liam 'could face two years in prison'
Oasis star Liam Gallagher could face up to two years in prison after a fight broke out in Germany.
The wildman singer lost two front teeth in a bust-up in a hotel in Munich at the weekend.
The police have launched an investigation into the attack. It is thought that Liam hit a German policeman.
Four other band members were involved.
Liam was arrested after the brawl along with two other band members and two security guards. After questioning they were all released.
But the band's management had to pay around £60,000 to bail Liam out of his police cell.
If there is a prosecution - meaning if Liam is found guilty of committing a crime - then he could face prison.
The band are currently on tour in Europe, though they have had to cancel two gigs because of the incident.
Liam's facial injuries could also affect his singing ability for some time.
