Liam Gallagher shares truth behind Oasis' 'final plans' with 3-word statement
Liam Gallagher has answered fans on social media after they were left disappointed at band manager Alec McKinlay's apparent reveal that there will be no more new Oasis tunes
Liam Gallagher has hit back at speculation regarding any future Oasis tunes in the way he knows best. The singer, 52, has refused to let other people talk for him - and that includes the iconic band's manager.
Manager Alec McKinlay had opened up on what it was like working with Liam and his brother Noel as the pair get ready for an epic summer of reunion gigs. However, he had appeared to pour cold water on the idea of new material, much to the disappointment of fans.
However, Liam has had his say, casting doubt over Alec's claims in brutal fashion.
The singer took to X, formerly known as Twitter to contradict his manager's input. He boldly said any reveal would come from him or his brother only.
His message came after one follower had claimed the dismissal by Alec didn't feel "very biblical". It led to Liam hitting back in typical fashion: "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 so let's just take it one day at a time."
He reaffirmed his stance later on as he answered another fan. They had claimed there "must be a degree of truth" in Alec's words for him to say it. Liam bluntly labelled Alec the "accountant" for the band.
Last week, fans were adamant they had figured out what the band's first song will be in their reunion tour. It came after a cryptic teaser post on Instagram ahead of the first concert on July 4.
Although there has been no official announcement yet, sharp-eyed supporters think the recent share on the platform could be a hint to the opener. The band's official Instagram account shared a visual clue which showed what looked like to be a five-track setlist.
In it, one notably swapped out for 'Songbird' from 2002, a crowd-pleaser among the Oasis faithful. The teaser post was captioned: "Less than two months to go. What's your dream opener?" A post to the r/Oasis subreddit later sparked fan theories as to what this puzzle signifies, sending them into overdrive.
It showed the song list reading Supersonic, Rock and Roll Star, Bring it On Down, Champagne Supernova, and Songbird. However, Songbird had been penned beneath Better Man, which is visibly struck through.
One user pondered: "What are all your thoughts on this? Seems odd, I'd never imagine they'd open with the last two? And why scratch out better man? Cryptic. Interested to hear what you make of it."
Another fan thought it wasn't the start of their song list, however, suggesting: "This is 100% one of Noel's early setlist drafts from the Heathen Chemistry tour that they plucked out of some archive. It's not current. These are not clues about what will be on the setlist."

Renée Victor, the voice of no-nonsense Abuelita in 'Coco,' dies at 86
Renée Victor, who voiced the no-nonsense, sandal-throwing Abuelita in Disney's animated hit "Coco" and played the wisecracking Lupita on Showtime's "Weeds," has died. She was 86. Victor's death was confirmed Monday by a representative, Julie Smith, who said the actor had lymphoma for several years. She died Friday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, Smith said, with family by her side. A post on the Instagram feed of Pixar, which produced "Coco," said: "We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Renée Victor, the voice [of] Abuelita in 'Coco' and an incredible part of the Pixar family. We will always remember you." Victor appeared in 22 episodes of "Weeds" as sassy housekeeper Lupita between 2005 and 2012, among many other TV credits including "ER," "Matlock" and "The Addams Family." But she was perhaps best known for what she called the chancla-throwing grandmother in "Coco," the 2017 family-friendly movie that explored death through the journey of a young Mexican boy to the land of the dead. "I play the part of 'Abuelita,' the chancla throwing grandma that preaches 'No Music!'" she wrote on Instagram, looking back several years ago. "Enjoy 'Coco' with your family this Dia de los Muertos and forever more!" She also looked back at "The Apostle," the 1997 movie that Robert Duvall wrote, directed and starred in. "He took a chance on me with this film," Victor wrote on Instagram. "This is where I got my nickname 'one take Renée,'" she said, adding laughter emojis. "I had a small role but what a great one! Can somebody give me an amen?!" Born in San Antonio, Texas, on July 25, 1938, Victor began her performing career as a singer and dancer. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, according to biography material provided by her representatives, where she launched her career singing with prominent big band leaders Xavier Cugat and Pérez Prado. She also taught Latin dancing, including salsa and the tango. She met her future husband, Ray, during that period, and from 1963 to 1973, they performed together as "Ray & Renée," a variety show that took them around the world — including Australia, where "they enjoyed particular fame," the materials said. In the 1970s, Victor hosted the "Pacesetters" public affairs show on KTLA, her representatives said, and by the '80s had moved into TV and film work. Her film credits, other than "The Apostle," included the 2014 horror film "Paranormal Activity 5: The Marked Ones," "The Doctor" with William Hurt (1991), and "A Night in Old Mexico" (2013), also with Duvall. In 2004, she had a recurring role as Florina Lopez on TV's "ER," and the following year was cast in "Weeds." Other series credits included "Snowpiercer" (2020-2021), "Mayans M.C." (2022), "Dead to Me" (2020-2022), and Amazon's "With Love" (2021-2023). Victor is survived by her daughters, Raquel and Margo Victor, Smith said.
