The frontman opens up about regrets, reconciliation, and the road back to Oasis
With the long-awaited Oasis reunion drawing closer, Liam Gallagher is getting candid about the years that followed the band’s dramatic 2009 split. In a series of heartfelt social media posts, the singer admitted to feeling both grateful and haunted by what was lost along the way.
“It’s Spiritual… But We Lost Time”
Replying to a fan on X (formerly Twitter) who asked what it feels like to sing with brother Noel again, Liam didn’t hold back:
“It’s something spiritual,” he wrote. “But I can’t help thinking about all the years we lost. We wasted precious time.”
When another user asked how he’s coping with the spotlight once more, Liam was just as direct:
“I wouldn’t be doing it if it felt like pressure — that’s not who I am.”
From Chart-Topping Anthems to Explosive Fallout
Oasis was formed in 1991 in Manchester by the Gallagher brothers, along with Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll. The band became legendary for hits like Wonderwall, Don’t Look Back in Anger, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, and Champagne Supernova.
Their breakup came in 2009 after a backstage fight at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Noel, now 58, announced his departure with the now-famous statement:
“With some sadness and great relief... I quit Oasis tonight. I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
The brothers spent the next decade exchanging public jabs and leading separate musical paths—Noel with his solo project, Liam with other former Oasis members.
A Reunion No One Saw Coming
Despite constant speculation over the years, the band’s return was officially confirmed only in August 2024. With a cryptic Instagram video captioned “This Will Not Be Televised,” Oasis broke their silence and announced their reunion.
The tour kicks off this summer across the UK and Ireland, followed by dates in Canada, the U.S. (including Toronto, East Rutherford, and Los Angeles), Mexico, and a return to Europe in September. Additional shows are scheduled for South Korea, Japan, Australia, and South America.
