Liam Gallagher Has Joined the Oasis Rehearsals and Confirms That Reunited Band Sounds ‘F–king FILTHY'
It is a mere 30 days until Oasis take the stage at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales to kick off their first tour in more than 16 years. The anticipation for the long-awaited reunion of formerly battling brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher has been slowly building as images of band members arriving for rehearsals have leaked out over the past week. And on Tuesday morning (June 3), singer Liam weighed in and gave a very positive assessment of how things are going. 'We have LIFT OFF Rastas sounded f–king FILTHY,' he wrote on X. 'I'll tell thee that there for hardly anything.' When a fan asked if he was nervous to step to the mic, the singer brushed off the question, responding 'Dont be ridiculous.'

Not one to get misty about much, Gallagher told an inquiring mind who wanted to know if it was 'emotional playing with everyone' for the first time in 16 years, 'no time to get emotional we have a lot of catching up to do.' By Wednesday morning (June 4), Gallagher was already seemingly getting a bit punchy, inexplicably posting 'MOISTIFICATION for the NATION,' and replying to a question about his 'greatest asset' with the blunt 'My arse.' A follow-up query about how many songs the band rehearsed the day before got the answer '69.' So far, the band is planning to spend most of July in the U.K. before jumping over to North America in August for shows in Toronto, Chicago, New Jersey, Pasadena and Mexico City, then hitting Asia and Australia in the fall and winding down with shows in Argentina, Chile and Brazil in November. For now, there are no festival dates or non-headlining shows, but a persistent fan asked Liam if it's possible that Oasis would make a triumphant return to the Knebworth Festival, where they played to more than 250,000 fans over two nights in 1996. 'Let's see how this tour goes if we still love each other after it,' Liam replied. And while there is some trepidation that the internal strife that split the family band up in 2009 might rear its ugly head again, when a fan wondered if Tuesday's rehearsal made it feel like the band had 'never split up,' Gallagher affirmed, 'Yeah like it never happened very spiritual.' Some things never change, though. 'How many hours do you rehearse every day,' one commenter wondered. 'I do the set once then I scarper,' Liam said. So far, longtime bassist Andy Bell has confirmed that he's back in the band for the tour and a March report suggested that the Gallaghers could be joined by former guitarist Gem Archer, as well as Oasis co-founder and rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M.). Liam rubbished the report, writing, 'NME tell me who your source pots are that keep giving you info about OASIS and I'll give you an exclusive interview about up n coming OASIS tour. You can have it all but how much do you want it.' See Liam's comment below.

Liam Gallagher Gushes About Oasis Reunion Drummer Joey Waronker: ‘This Guy Is Special'
The Oasis drum seat has been filled by a number of time keepers, from original drummer Tony McCaroll, to longtime member Alan 'Whitey' White, Steve White, Zak Starkey and Chris Sharrock. But when the reunited group finally hits the stage on July 4 for the first show on their anticipated Oasis Live '25 tour, none of those men will be holding down the rhythm. This time around the seat will be filled by veteran drummer Joey Waronker, who has worked with everyone from Beck to R.E.M., Elliott Smith and Thom Yorke's Atoms For Peace side project. Singer Liam Gallagher seemed chuffed by the addition to the group after a fan asked last week what he thought about the musician and if he is 'appropriate for the Oasis sound?' More from Billboard Liam Gallagher Has Joined the Oasis Rehearsals and Confirms That Reunited Band Sounds 'F–king FILTHY' Kylie Minogue Joins Prestigious '21 Club' at London's O2 Arena Kevin Parker Previews New Tame Impala Music During Barcelona DJ Set Liam was unequivocal in his praise, responding, 'He's the best and we're lucky to have him I've enjoyed all our drummers but this guy is special.' Waronker will join Liam and brother/songwriter and occasional vocalist Noel Gallagher, as well as bassist Andy Bell and, reportedly, guitarists Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and Gem Archer. Anticipation has been building for the group's first shows in 16 years, with Liam forced to apologize to fans on Monday morning (June 9) after raising anticipation for more major news with an X post that read, 'BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 6.30 am.' The wild speculation quickly unfurled, with fans guessing that Gallagher may have been hinting at warm-up gigs or additional dates. When Gallagher responded a short time later with 'I WORK OUT,' the fury went up 10 notches, with one fan complaining, 'you played with our feelings,' as another raged, 'I F–KING HATE YOU,' to which Gallagher quipped, 'Hate is such a strong word.' Soon enough the singer appeared to genuinely regret the wind-up, writing, 'Gotta admit that was good craic gotta you all riled up to ras,' then sincerely apologizing for the false alarm. 'If I caused any distress and upset anyone this morning I'm deeply sorry that wasn't my intention I thought it was a bit of fun I got it wrong please forgive me,' he wrote. Oasis will criss-cross the U.K. in July before heading to North America in August for shows in Toronto, Chicago, New Jersey, Pasadena and Mexico City, then moving on to Asia and Australia in the fall and Argentina, Chile and Brazil in November.

Caitlin Clark's Message for Aliyah Boston Ahead of Big Announcement
Caitlin Clark's Message for Aliyah Boston Ahead of Big Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever's All-Star point guard-center duo of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston is one of the best in the WNBA on the court, averaging a combined 34.3 points, 13.6 rebounds and 13.1 assists per game this season. Advertisement The relationship between the two former No. 1 overall draft picks is thriving off the court as well, and Clark is about to spread their message to basketball courts across America. One example of the Indiana teammates' bond is the pregame affirmation that Boston introduced Clark to. To build each other up before taking the court, they repeat the words: "You're going to be amazing because you are amazing." Clark's commercial presence has entered a new stratosphere with the upcoming release of her second signature basketball collection with Wilson on June 23. Clark is the second basketball player, after NBA legend Michael Jordan, to have a full basketball collection with the company. Advertisement But Clark, 23, ensured that Boston's affirmation would become a secret message for those lucky enough to get their hands on one of the four basketballs, which are sure to sell out after their release in two weeks. 'We'll get (Boston) a free basketball," Clark said. "She'll love it. I'm going to put it in her locker.' Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) laughs with Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) before the game against the Washington Faith Morgan-Imagn Images Clark's new signature line with Wilson is set to include four different basketballs: Envision, Embrace, Oasis and Aspire. According to USA Today, the indoor/outdoor Aspire ball includes the phrases 'Dream Big,' 'Keep Going' and 'You're Going to Be Amazing Because You Are Amazing,' which only appear in bright red lettering when the ball is in the sunlight. Advertisement Clark was an active participant in the design process, which is how her pregame words for Boston became a part of this special collection. She said she would have loved to have a ball as a kid that included a secret message. The Aspire ball will be priced at $54.95, while the Envision and Oasis balls are both under $50, with Clark conscious of making her products affordable for fans everywhere. The Embrace, Wilson's premium Evo NXT basketball that aligns with WNBA professional standards, costs $124.95. Her first signature ball, released in October 2024 to highlight accomplishments from her record-breaking NCAA career at Iowa, sold out in minutes.
