Brothers Noel, 57, and Liam Gallagher, 52, will not play 'Hello' as it references the paedo's 1973 hit 'Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again'. 2 Noel and Liam Gallagher will not play 'Hello' on their reunion tour as it references paedo Gary Glitter's 1973 hit 'Hello, Hello, I'm Back Again' Credit: Social media - Refer to source 2 Glitter, 80, real name Paul Gadd, was jailed for 16 years in 2015 for abusing three girls between 1975 and 1980 Credit: PA The song was the opening track on Oasis's 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?. In the outro, Liam repeats the line 'Hello, hello, it's good to be back, it's good to be back' while the melody of the original also plays underneath. As such, Glitter and his record producer Mike Leander get a writing credit on the Oasis album alongside Noel, who penned all the other tracks. A source said: 'The lyrics of the song would obviously have been a good fit for the reunion tour but the band have decided to leave it in the past. 'It would be inappropriate to play it given its connotations to Glitter and his convictions.'
