Liam Gallagher needs a double hip replacement after developing crippling arthritis in his joints due to his Hashimoto's disease diagnosis. However, the rock icon is reluctant to go under the knife because he doesn't want to die getting his hips fixed. He told Mojo magazine: "I’ve got arthritis, bad. I went to get it checked and my bones are mashed up. “The lady was going, ‘You might need a hip operation, a replacement’ – no way. "You’re all right... I think I’d rather just be in pain, which is ridiculous, obviously. I know that – just get them fixed. “But it’s also the stigma, saying you’ve had your hips replaced... What’s next? “I can’t sleep at night for the pain, tossing and turning. So I’m on the herbal sleeping tablets and they’ve saved my life."
