Liam Gallagher may be forced to pay millions if he continues to fail to appear at court hearings in his child support case.
The 42-year-old Oasis rocker failed to appear for a deposition earlier this month regarding his two-year-old daughter Gemma with New York journalist Liza Ghorbani, according to an article on Tuesday by Page Six.
Gallagher was married to singer Nicole Appleton when he had an affair with Ghorbani after she interviewed him for The New York Times.

The British singer previously was fined $5,000 for missing a court appearance in January in New York City.
The case has been scheduled to go to trial on March 20 but it was not clear if Gallagher would appear following recent claims that he is 'depressed'.
If he doesn't appear, Ghorbani will win a default judment.
'Based on his failure to attend any court hearings and his failure to comply with the discovery process, we assume he won’t show up for the trial,' said Ghobrani's lawyer Ira Garr.
'We will ask for whatever [settlement] we ask for and we'll get a default judgement. It is always the same excuse, ''He's too sick to travel,''' Garr added.
Justice Laura Drager in January shook her head when presented with a last-minute doctor's note that claimed Gallagher was 'anxious and depressed' and claimed it was 'insufficient'.

Gallagher also is in court in London with ex-wife Appleton who filed for divorce after learning of his affair with Ghorbani.
Ghorbani initially had filed a lawsuit against Gallagher at the Manhattan Family Court seeking $3 million and child support, but it was later refiled in the Manhattan Supreme Court.
Gallagher has a 13-year-old son Gene with Appleton and daughter Molly, 16, and son Lennon, 15, from previous relationships.
