During an interview with Austrian newspaper Oe24, Andy was asked about Oasis and said: 'I'm in and I'm really looking forward to it.
'We'll see each other on tour. Or rather, you'll see me – I'll hardly be able to see you in the audience.'
Andy joined Oasis in 2000 to replace bassist Paul McGuigan, who quit during the recording of the band's fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.
Joining Andy on the line-up with Noel and Liam, as I revealed earlier this year, are Gem Archer, Bonehead and drummer Joey Waronker.

Oasis' co-manager Alec McKinlay yesterday told Music Week the reunion tour would be the only time fans would see the brothers performing together again.
He said: 'This is the last time around, as Noel has made clear in the press. It is a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to.
'But no, there's no plan for any new music.'

Queens of the Stone Age have announced a concert film called Alive in the Catacombs.

It's the first time a live gig has been staged in the underground burial chambers below Paris, which was a dream of frontman Josh Homme.
He said of the film, out June 5: 'If you're ever going to be haunted, surrounded by several million dead people is the place.
"I've never felt so welcome in my life. We're so stripped down because that place is so stripped down, which makes the music so stripped down, which makes the words so stripped down.
'It would be ridiculous to try to rock there. All those decisions were made by that space.

'That space dictates everything, it's in charge. You do what you're told when you're in there.'
Celine no to Euro return
Celine Dion has confirmed she won't perform during Eurovision, despite being in talks for months.

"Switzerland will forever hold a special place in my heart as the country that believed in me and that gave me the chance to be part of something so extraordinary.'
She has been battling Stiff Person Syndrome for years, making it difficult to perform.
It has not yet been revealed who will take the My Heart Will Go On singer's place in the final.

Insiders tell me the duo are working on the book, albeit with help from a ghostwriter, and should be announcing the project in the coming days.
A source said: 'After months of discussions, Sam and Pete have landed a book deal. Their podcast is already doing so well, so they wanted a new challenge and this is it.
'It's been the perfect distraction for Sam after his relationship with Zara ended but it's not a tell-all. He won't be airing their dirty laundry.

'While the book is theirs and they are helping with ideas, I'm not sure either will be putting pen to paper. A ghostwriter has already started work on the project.'
Lizzo is Real Busy
After bouncing back with new single Still Bad, Lizzo is preparing to drop her next record Love in Real Life.
She's hitting the promo trail hard, kicking off with a performance at Amazon's Upfront event in New York.

She performed About Damn Time on stage with Jason Momoa, to hype up his new Amazon film The Wrecking Crew, before changing into a chic black dress and heading across the city to an interview with TV talk show host Andy Cohen.
Lizzo also sat down with radio presenter Charlamagne Tha God and hit back at people who criticised her weight loss.
She said: 'Put me next to any pop star right now, I'm still bigger than them. I didn't realise how much my body changed until I was filming the Love in Real Life music video.

'I was in shock. It shocked me, because the way that I'm releasing weight has been a long, slow process.'
Joey Essex may claim he's not the smartest – but at least his home is.
The reality TV regular has teamed up with Amazon to front its latest campaign, which attempts to prove setting up a 'smart home' is a lot easier than people might think.
In the new ad, faux dipstick Joey gives fans a tour of his huge Essex home, which is fitted with a load of fancy mod cons such as Alexa-controlled blinds and Blink security cameras.

Joey said: 'I know some people might think you've got to be a genius to manage a smart home, but if I can do it, then anyone can. I love that Alexa sets the mood in my bedroom, while Blink gives me peace of mind there's nothing lurking in the garden.'
We'll take you at your word, Joey.

'They hired a rooftop bar in LA and his parents Tim Healy and Denise Welch were there, along with one of his aunts and Gab's family.

Liam Gallagher and children join forces for huge campaign ahead of Oasis tour
Liam Gallagher has posed with three of his children for a mega Burberry advert just weeks before he's due to hit the road with Oasis, and it's a fitting campaign Liam Gallagher's kids are a chip off the old block as they perfected his moody glare for a fitting Burberry campaign. The Oasis frontman joined forces with his three oldest children, Molly Moorish-Gallagher, 27, and sons Lennon, 25, and Gene, 23, for the photoshoot. The hitmaker and his children are fronting Burberry's Festival campaign ahead of a summer of live music - including Oasis' hotly anticipated reunion tour. Next month Liam and his older brother Noel will take to the stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium – 16 years after the band split. It's claimed that Liam, 52, has signed a staggering £1million with the global fashion brand for their collection, which pays homage to British identities and live music. Posing in front of a motorhome, Liam and his children all modelled waterproofs from the collection – and it's no surprise he was wearing his signature Parka coat. Meanwhile, daughter Molly exuded festival glamour and style in a similar parka and a pair of matching wellies. Eldest son Lennon, lead singer of the band Automotive, rocked a classic Burberry tartan rainmac and shorts, and despite the collection being for a festival, opted for a more modest pair of trainers and black socks. Gene, who fronts the band Villanelle, kept his look very relaxed but stylish in a striking green jacket, which he completed with a more suiting pair of black trousers and boots. Although the collection was originally released in the summer of 2018, Liam's Christopher Bailey-designed jacket is being re-released this July ahead of Oasis's widely anticipated return. Lennon's look bears a striking similarity to his dad in the 1995 music video for Oasis's mega-anthem, Wonderwall. The campaign echoes Burberry as the go-to look at festivals, with the likes of Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Reading and Leeds coming up in the next few months. "Burberry sits at the centre of the summer calendar," said Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee. He added: "It's both a means of creative expression and a go-to uniform for festival goers." Reflecting on the campaign, Lee added: "Think of the campaign like a collage. Capturing off-duty fans and headline acts in between gigs." With Liam and his kids fronting the campaign, alongside names such as producer and DJ Goldie, Alexa Chung and Cara Delevingne, it's certainly fit to be rolled straight out for festival season. Burberry believes the "unique casting" of the Gallaghers and Goldie reinforces the legacy and appeal of the brand. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp! As the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour grows closer, the Mirror has launched its very own Oasis WhatsApp community where you'll get all the latest news on the Gallagher brothers and all the information you'll need in the run up to the gigs.

To leave our community click on the name at the top of your screen and choose Exit group. If you're curious, you can read our Privacy Notice. Unfortunately for Oasis fans, they aren't the soundtrack for the campaign. That duty has fallen to Liquid's hit, Sweet Harmony, which has been a staple at British festivals since its release in 1991. Ahead of Oasis taking to the stage next month, fans have been wondering if there's a future for the once-warring siblings. When asked by a fan if they can have more dates, ideally a string of shows at Knebworth playing to 125,000 people, Liam replied: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it." When asked by the Mirror how rehearsals are going, Liam told us: "Dangerous." Meanwhile, videos have circulated on social media, with audio clips of the band apparently rehearsing the anthems Cigarettes & Alcohol and Fade Away. He told fans that it was his idea to have both songs on the setlist for the most anticipated tour.

Liam Gallagher stars alongside his three children, Cara Delevingne and Alexa Chung in Burberry's festival-inspired campaign - just weeks ahead of Oasis's long awaited reunion
Liam Gallagher harked back to his younger Burberry-clad Oasis days as he posed with his three children for the designer brand's star-studded new summer campaign. Having reportedly signed a £1million deal with Burberry ahead of Oasis's much-anticipated reunion in a few weeks, the rock star, 52, featured in the campaign alongside Cara Delevingne, 32, and Alexa Chung, 41. The luxury designer's promotion shoot is centered around festival season and - with Glastonbury just weeks away - sees its stars clad in wellies and trench coats while braving the British rain. Posing outside of a truck backstage with his three children, Gene, 23, Molly, 27, and Lennon, 25, Liam cut a typically stylish figure in his own signature Burberry parka coat. Having initially released in the summer of 2018, the Christopher Bailey designed jacket is set to be re-released this July to coincide with Oasis's return. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Sporting haircuts clearly inspired by Liam's iconic noughties trim, Lennon and Gene pose either side of their father in designer jackets while their sister Molly emulates Liam in a classic trench coat. Cara Delevingne - who has starred in many a Burberry campaign - is once again front and centre for the brand, this time donning a pair of designer wellies and a black dress. The Suicide Squad actress made sure she got well and truly in the festival spirit for the shoot as she was pictured playfully laying in the mud in her lavish outfit. She too posed in a Burberry skirt with a matching bag, looking as sensational as ever while being ferried around the festival grounds in a buggy. Having stunned in a glamorous black dress at Cannes a couple of weeks ago, Alexa Chung rocked a very different look for the Burberry Festival shoot. The model first features while sporting a summery pink dress with some muddy wellies before slipping into a bikini and a pair of shorts for a later photo. Burberry's latest campaign also features a host of other famous names from the worlds of music and fashion, with Loyle Carner, Chy Cartier, Goldie, John Glacier and Seungmin included. Liam Gallagher and Burberry have become almost synonymous with each other over the years, with the Live Forever hitmaker regularly pictured in their garments. Indeed, during the 1990s - when Oasis first took the music industry by storm - the star was often seen sporting Burberry on stage. Liam has since inspired his son Lennon's love of both of fashion and Burberry, with the 25-year-old starring in multiple campaigns previously. The release of the new Gallagher-inspired Burberry collection comes on the same week that the Manchester-born brothers reunited to perform together for the first time in 16 years. After splitting in 2009 following a huge row before a Paris show, Liam and Noel are beginning rehearsals in London ready for the band's reunion tour this summer. The Oasis Live 25 tour is now less than a month away with the brothers officially reuniting on stage at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on July 4. On Thursday, both Liam and Noel were pictured arriving at a secret London studio to begin rehearsals. In typical Liam style, the singer made a chaotic entrance to rehearsals, arriving in a van laden with Lockets and cough syrup, suggesting his vocal cords were in need of some TLC. Don't Look Back in Anger singer Noel was seen waiting for a District Line tube at Paddington station earlier in the day, but while it is no doubt a momentous occasion for fans, the 58-year-old struggled to muster up a smile. Liam recently shared his excitement about rejoining the band as he answered a plethora of fan questions on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday morning. One fan asked: 'Happy sunday man! Are you ready for rehearsals? there are only a few days left and you're joining the others?' To which the singer replied: 'Yes Rasta D I'm in Tuesday to blow there minds.' Another asked whether he was 'excited' to begin rehearsals, with Liam responding: 'Can't wait'. Meanwhile, Liam further confirmed he was joining rehearsals after a different fan commented: 'How long will your rehearsal day be? Will u breeze in & breeze out quickly?' With the rocker remarking: 'I'll sing the set then I'm out there I don't hang about.' The Morning Glory singer also told how he was feeling 'biblical' and would not hang around to take photos as he noted: 'You won't see me I'm not a poser, I'll be in and out.' In April it was reported that Noel had kicked off rehearsals for the hotly-anticipated Oasis comeback tour in the summer. Just months away from their on stage reunion, Liam was said to be prioritising 'rest' instead of getting back in the studio with his brother. A source close to Noel told The Mirror: 'Noel is often in and out of the studio working on things, he is a singer songwriter so it's only natural. 'But Liam is a singer and he has a long list of dates ahead of him with Oasis this year so he will not be overdoing rehearsals. After a big solo Definitely Maybe tour your last year, the main thing his voice needs at the moment is rest.' After playing dates across Britain, the band will later head to Japan, Argentina, the United States and Brazil for further shows. It comes as the truth behind Noel and Liam's reconciliation and subsequent Oasis reunion has been revealed. According to reports, fans of the band have Noel's daughter Anais to thank for the long-awaited reunion tour. The model, 25, is said to have helped bring the estranged siblings back together after 'planting the idea' of a reconciliation. Anais is also said to have helped piece together the set list and give an insight into what younger fans might want to hear. According to The Sun, a source said: 'Anais could tell her dad really wanted both his brothers, Liam and Paul, by his side after the split so was determined to get them back in touch.' They continued: 'She gets on great with Liam's sons Gene and Lennon so she asked them if their dad would be willing to hear her out. They have this week began rehearsals for the upcoming tour, with the pair pictured arriving at a secret London studio on Thursday 'It enabled her to plant the idea of a reconciliation on both sides. Thanks to her close relationship with Liam, she was able to call him. Once Liam called Noel, the rest was left up to them.' Anais has frequently been seen with her cousins Molly, Lennon, and Gene with them often attending events together. Molly's mother is Lisa Moorish, who Liam had a brief relationship with while he was married to Patsy Kensit in 1998. Liam did not meet Molly until 2018 after which he expressed hope he would remain in her life. Liam shares Lennon, 25, with ex Patsy Kensit, and Gene, 23, whose mother is Nicole Appleton who he dated following his divorce from Patsy in 2000.
