Noel Gallagher fuels rumours Oasis are set to reunite with cryptic comment about brother Liam
NOEL Gallagher has added fuel to the rumours that Oasis are set to reunite.
The Don’t Look Back In Anger singer, 55, said about brother Liam: “He’s got my number, call us”.
It comes after Manchester rocker Liam, 50, responded to a fan on social media who asked if there’s a “small percentage that Oasis would get back together,” Liam replied: “It’s happening”.
Giving an interview with French radio network, France Inter, Noel was asked about about reunion rumours and said: “He’s got my number. He’s got my manager’s number. Call us.”
“There’s something in the papers back in England today,” he said speaking of his brother’s tweet in particular.
“You know… but he should get his people to call my people to call my people. They know who they are. They know where we are.
“Stop talking on the f***ing internet and let’s see what you’ve got to say.”
Asked if it was only a question of a phone call, the Pretty Boy rocker replied: “You would think, right? He’s got my number. He’s got my manager’s number. Call us. But you know what? He won’t call.”
When asked why, he simply replied: “Why indeed. Why indeed.”
Noel said he understood why fans were fascinated with a reunion, 14 years after the band broke up.
He replied: “Yeah, I understand it. No one has really come along to take our place.”
However, Liam has hit back at Noel’s comments and has taken to social media to have his say.
This morning he posted: “Here’s how I see it, the little fella aka potato has done a lot of damage to Oasis as a band/brand. He’s got a lot of making up to do not just to me but to you the fans, the people that put us where we are today.”
Oasis infamously announced their split in 2009 after the brothers fractious relationship hit boiling point.
In January, guitarist Noel told a DJ pal: “Well, you should never say never… it would take an extraordinary set of circumstances but that’s not to say those won’t ever come about.”
The brothers have grown closer amid the breakdown of Noel’s marriage to Sara MacDonald.
Asked by BBC Radio Manchester’s Mike Sweeney how he and Liam, 50, were getting on, Noel said: “Oh, brilliantly, yeah.”
Sweeney, who has known him for years, said: “Genuinely?”
Noel replied: “Genuinely, yeah.”
He added: “He (Liam) has taken a year out apparently to find himself.”
On The Radio X Evening Show with Dan O’Connell, Noel further hinted at a reconciliation.
He said “Look, it’s the done thing now isn’t it, and Blur are playing Wembley stadium, everyone’s getting back together.”
Noel did stress he didn’t need the money and that the band would need to do “something monumental”, adding of an immediate reunion: “It’s just not something that appeals to me. Now that’s not saying in ten years’ time it won’t appeal to me.”
Noel’s comments came days after The Sun revealed he had split from Sara after 12 years of marriage.
Her strained relationship with Liam played a part in Oasis’s 2009 split.
In 2020 Liam claimed Sara had blocked a possible reunion.
Replying to a fan on Twitter, Liam said: “I’ve told you before he’s (Noel) rite up for it but you know who won’t let him as she doesn’t like Oasis music.”
