Liam Gallager wants Oasis to Live Forever
Liam Gallagher has admitted he wants Oasis to stay together.
The Live Forever singer is just weeks away from reuniting onstage with his formerly estranged brother, Noel, for their first tour in 16 years - which kicks off on July 4 in Cardiff - and despite it being billed as their final hurrah, Liam has suggested he wants the Britpop legends to stick around for years to come.
Asked by a fan on X: "Is there anything better than Oasis getting back together, he replied: "Yeah staying together."
Liam recently admitted Oasis "wasted precious time" apart amid his 15-year feud from brother Noel.
The Supersonic band have been busy rehearsing the past few days for the Oasis Live '25 Tour, and frontman Liam said it's a shame they've missed out on so much because of his vicious feud with Noel, as he hailed their practice sessions "spiritual".
One fan asked on X: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times? (sic)"
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 (sic)."
Oasis split following a backstage bust-up between the Gallaghers at Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009.
Their return to the stage has been one of the most anticipated music events of the decade.
Liam recently dismissed fan concerns over his vocal health ahead of the long-awaited reunion tour.
The rock 'n' roll star - who has Hashimoto's disease, which can cause a hoarse voice - sparked a frenzy online after posting about taking throat lozenges, sour candies and cough syrup, prompting speculation from fans that his voice might not hold up during his and older brother Noel's upcoming stadium shows this summer.
One fan messaged him on X after his admission: '@liamgallagher If you need that many throat stuff does that mean anytime your voice can still go? We don't want cancellations.'
Liam replied: 'Shut up you melt.'
Another user asked the singer: '@liamgallagher Did you eat all your sour throat candies yesterday?' – to which Liam responded: '@adele_liam I did 2 pacs.'

'I was touring Japan and they said do you want to join our band?' The Blow Monkeys singer Dr. Robert reveals Oasis stole his drummer
The Blow Monkeys singer Dr. Robert lost drummer Alan White to Oasis. The It Doesn't Have to Be This Way singer was touring as a solo artist in the 1990s and Alan was part of his live band. After Oasis' original drummer Tony McCarroll was fired from the band in April 1995 by Noel Gallagher, the guitarist's friend Paul Weller told him that Alan would be a great fit for the Supersonic rockers. Paul's own drummer Steve White is the brother of Alan and he had heard about his drumming talent from Steve and from Dr. Robert, who previously played in Weller's band The Style Council and is a close friend of "The Modfather". Dr. Robert remembers being on the road in Japan in April 1995 when Alan got a call from Oasis asking him to join straight away so he could appear with them on TV show Top of the Pops when they performed their first number one single Some Might Say. In an interview with Contact Music, Dr. Robert said: "I was touring in Japan at the time when they rang up Alan White, he was drumming with me, and they said, 'Do you want to join our band? We're number one and we're doing Top of the Pops next week.' 'I said, 'Alan, you better go.' 'He's Steve White's brother. Steve used to play for Paul Weller and The Style Council and Alan was drumming for me, so there was a connection. 'Alan's a brilliant drummer, he played on the first solo album I did and he was magnificent. 'I played a lot with his brother Steve, who was phenomenal. He's, like, the greatest British jazz drummer there's ever been, he's so good. 'Alan's different, he's really good at playing on songs, he was perfect for Oasis. You can really hear it on Wonderwall, his drumming on that." Alan was in Oasis from 1995 until 2004 and played on four albums - (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, Be Here Now, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants and Heathen Chemistry - before departing and being replaced by Zak Starkey - the son of Beatles drummer Sir Ringo Starr. Dr. Robert thought that Alan, 53, or Zak, 59, would get the call to re-join Noel and Liam for the Oasis Live '25 Tour rather the brothers choosing new drummer Joey Waronker for the reunion tour. He said: "I thought Zak Starkey would get the gig. "Although I did like the original drummer Tony McCarroll. He had a lazy style, and he was dreamy, sort of behind the beat, I loved all that." The Blow Monkeys will release their 13th studio album Birdsong on 15 August 2025, followed by a 10-date UK tour in October with The Christians. The band bring out new single The Penny Drops - the first track to be released from the upcoming LP - on 17 June. Tickets are on sale now from the official Blow Monkeys website. The Blow Monkeys full list of tour dates is as follows: Oct 11th - Gateshead, The Glasshouse Oct 13th - Glasgow, Clyde Theatre Oct 14th - Edinburgh, Queen's Hall Oct 16th - Liverpool, Philharmonic Hall Oct 18th - Manchester, RNCM Theatre Oct 19th - Wolverhampton, Wulfrun Hall Oct 21st - Bexhill, De La Warr Pavilion Oct 22nd - Watford, Colosseum Oct 23rd - London, Shepherds Bush Empire Oct 24th - Fareham, Live Theatre

Superannuated Supergrass can still put on a fine show
Supergrass were the puppies snapping at the heels of Britpop big dogs Oasis, Blur and Pulp in the mid-'90s – basically because two of the band were barely out of their Oxfordshire school and they exuberantly sang about teenage japes, from 1994's adrenalised introductory single Caught by the Fuzz onwards. This youthful, anarchic energy helped send debut album I Should Coco to the top of the UK charts, which immediately presents a problem for a 30th-anniversary show starting with that record played in order, in its entirety. That is: while I Should Coco is resplendent with bangers – the most famous Supergrass song, Alright, is merely the album's fourth-best single (and perhaps its eighth-best tune) – there's a palpable difference in vibe between watching a bunch of fresh- (and famously hairy-) faced kids rip through them in a sweaty club in the '90s, and middle-aged men humbled to play them in this most venerable venue 30 years later. Still, a delirious Mansize Rooster and the epic thump of Lenny thrill as they always did, Strange Ones greets you like an old mate you couldn't be happier to see again, and the bluesy swing of Time brings one of several blissful changes of tempo. Even We're Not Supposed To, an early, acid-fried bedroom goof that somehow made it onto the album, has its charms in this context. Better yet, helped by some early sound issues finally having been sorted, is the fat-free selection of Supergrass favourites that follow the debut's run-through. There is, wisely, nothing later than 2002's Grace, which means we get to hear Richard III still rock like a beast, and the sublime Moving soar and stomp with delicious abandon. Plus, it's always a joy to get close to that place where the Sun Hits the Sky. Danny Goffey remains an unstoppable force behind the drums, bassist Mick Quinn's underrated backing vocals (when you can hear them) and Rob Coombes' sizzling keys prove their redoubtable value, and Rob's little brother Gaz, in his barrow-boy trilby, still exudes loveability when singing, playing his guitars or even just speaking between songs. But it seems that it's only the unavoidable missing X factor of, dare one suggest it, youth that just holds back this very fine Supergrass show from being an all-time great one.
