Liam Gallagher Reveals Regret About Oasis Ahead of Reunion Tour with Noel

Liam Gallagher has admitted it’s a shame Oasis ‘wasted precious time’ apart amid his 15-year estrangement from his brother Noel. 

The iconic Manchester band are set to reunite in July for their first tour in 16 years, dubbed Oasis Live ’25, after finally burying the hatchet last year. 

The band have been busy rehearsing the past few days and frontman Liam, 52, said it’s a shame they’ve missed out on so much because he feuded with his brother Noel, 58, as he hailed their practice sessions as ‘spiritual’.

A user on X (formerly Twitter) asked the singer: ‘How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?’

To which, Liam replied: ‘You know what it’s spiritual but I can’t help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time.’

Oasis split following a backstage disagreement between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.

Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events over the past decade and rehearsals are now well and truly underway. 

A new book titled Live Forever by John Robb has detailed just how bitter the bands split was at the time. 

However, fans and friends are hoping that nothing happens on tour, like the row they had backstage in 2009, which took them more than a decade to move on from. 

One witness said: ‘Liam was goading Noel constantly and then the two snapped.’

Another witness remembered: ‘There were proper punches and Liam smashed up one of Noel’s guitars. Liam was like a man possessed. 

They continued: ‘He was swearing constantly and really angry. Medical staff were called along with security. Noel got out as quickly as he could. This was a truly vicious fight – quite horrible.’

In his statement confirming he had quit the band at the time, Noel wrote: ‘The level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable.’

When asked by a fan on X, formerly Twitter, how it feels to be singing songs with his brother again, Liam admitted his biggest regret as he hailed their practice sessions as ‘spiritual’ 

But thankfully, the duo have now made up and it is believed that Liam made the first move to patch things up with his brother. 

On X, formerly Twitter, Liam replied to a fan last year, saying: ‘I called him but don’t tell anyone as I do t wont folk thinking I’m a soft lad and stuffs keep it between me n you cheers x.’ 

Book author John, who is a close friend of Noel, has reportedly written the programme notes for the upcoming tour. 

Discussing the reunion in his new book Live Forever, John said: ‘The reformation rumours never did end. 

‘Every now and then there would be rumblings…Every year they would go from a whisper to a scream. And then silence. Venues would be booked and unbooked. Fans hopes and despaired. 

‘On August 27 the band announced they had reformed and everything went crazy. A tour was announced where the band were playing bigger stadiums than they had ever played before.

‘Somehow by splitting up and reforming 15 years later they had become the biggest band in the world again.’
