Liam Gallagher reflects on “wasted years” since Oasis split, wants band to “stay together”

Liam Gallagher has looked back at the “wasted years” following Oasis’ split, and said that he hopes the band can stay together from now on.

The frontman made the comments on X/Twitter, responding to fans who reached out to ask how he is feeling with the upcoming reunion shows just around the corner.

Members have been spotted at a rehearsal studio in London recently, gearing up for the huge stadium concerts they have planned, with the dates set to kick off in Cardiff on July 4.

“How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?” one fan asked the frontman on X, to which he responded: “You know what it’s spiritual but I can’t help think about all those wasted years what a waste of PRECIOUS time”.

When asked by someone if anything could be “better than Oasis getting back together,” he responded again, saying: “Yeah staying together”.

The brothers and co-founders Liam and Noel Gallagher were on infamously bad terms for much of the time following their split in 2009. In the time since, each focused on their own respective projects – with Liam founding the band Beady Eye, sharing numerous solo albums, and embarking on a huge solo tour celebrating Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’. Noel, however, predominantly turned his sights to his own solo project, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

While each kept busy making music from 2009 onwards, there were recurring rumours that would arise about a potential Oasis comeback over the years, although nothing materialised until last summer.

The two would take hot-and-cold approaches to the topic over the years too, with each brother being seemingly open to the idea at some points, then completely dismissive at others.

However, Liam did seem to be particularly open-minded towards the idea of a comeback. He told NME back in 2020 that, in the run-up to sharing his third solo album ‘C’mon You Know’, he had always wanted to be a part of a band rather than a solo act.

“I’m gutted that I’m here doing this on my own. I find this fucking boring, being on your own. I joined a band, so doing it with our kid and with Bonehead and the lads years ago was what I was into, was how I envisioned it,” he said.

“Being in a band – it was about the Roses, it was about The Beatles or The Stones or The Pistols. Not fucking sitting here like fucking Rick Astley or Julio fucking Iglesias, doing a solo interview. I always imagined us all being around, having a fucking crack. You know what I mean?”

He then went on to address rumours of a reunion and said that, while nothing had been locked in at the time, he was certain it would eventually come together.

“It’s not been put on the table; it’s just been booted around… It is gonna happen, believe you me – it’s gonna happen very fucking soon because he’s greedy and he loves money and he knows that it’s got to happen soon or it won’t happen,” he said, before also sharing his thoughts on writing new music with the band.

“I’d do a record, but listen, it depends on what kind of record it is. If it’s anything like that shit he’s putting out at the moment, I don’t think anyone wants that.”

Since the news of the comeback dropped after Liam’s solo headline slot at Reading & Leeds 2024, debate about new Oasis music has picked up again.

Last year, the band shot down reports that they were planning to headline Knebworth in 2026 and the singer went online to tell fans that a new LP from the group was “already finished”. He then raised fans’ hopes again, claiming that he was “blown away” by the new material written by Noel.

This hope for new music was short-lived though, as he posted an update on X saying that there was “no Oasis album in the making” and his prior comments were merely something he did for “a laugh”.

That being said, he did fan the flames again last month by calling out manager Alec McKinlay, who said in an interview that there was no hope of new material, nor of them announcing any more tour dates.

Responding to one fan who said it didn’t feel “very biblical” for McKinlay to dismiss all future plans, Liam wrote: “Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID [Noel] so let’s just take it one day at a time.”

The first of 19 shows in the UK and Ireland kicks off in Cardiff next month, and will also include seven at London’s Wembley Stadium. Support acts are Richard Ashcroft and Cast.

As revealed by NME in March, the dates will see Noel and Liam joined by guitarists Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and Gem Archer as well as bassist Andy Bell – all longtime Oasis members.

On drums will be Joey Waronker, who has never played with Oasis before but did play on the tour supporting Liam and John Squire’s collaborative album last year. He has worked with the likes of Beck, R.E.M., Elliott Smith and Roger Waters, as well as being a member of Thom Yorke‘s Atoms For Peace band. In the run-up to the dates, the band have partnered with Amazon to launch new merch that pays homage to the iconic moments throughout their career.
