Oasis fans think reunion may be on cards after Noel Gallagher’s latest comments
Noel Gallagher says his brother Liam should “get his people to call my people” about an Oasis reunion.
Noel made the comments in an interview with radio station France Inter, days after Liam sparked fresh hope that a reunion may be on the cards by telling a fan on Twitter that “it’s happening”.
Speaking to the French media outlet, Noel said there’s “something in the papers back in England today”.
“He should get his people to call my people. They know who they are, they know where we are, stop talking on the f****** internet, let’s see what you’ve gotta say,” he says.
The interviewer then asks if it’s “just a question of a phone call?”
“You would think, right? You would think. He’s got my number, he’s got my manager’s number, call us.”
Noel then adds: “But you know what? He won’t call.”
Asked why, Noel responds: “Why indeed. Why indeed.”
The group disbanded in 2009, with Gallagher quitting following a confrontation with his younger brother Liam at the Rock en Seine festival near Paris.
Following Noel’s interview, Liam tweeted saying: “Here’s how I see it the little fella aka potato has done a lot of damage to Oasis as a band / brand he’s got a lot of making up to do not just to me but to you the fans the people that put us where we are tday as you were LG x.”
The age-old debate about an Oasis reunion still gets fans excited. Even the slightest hint that it may actually happen can restart hopeful rumours.

Fans have long speculated that Noel’s estranged wife was at the heart of his dispute with his brother – and his changing tone since they announced their split this year could be seen as evidence there could be something in that.
The Mancunian brothers have been infamously embroiled in an intense sibling rivalry since they became public figures in the mid-90s – and it has not abated since the band split in 2009.
Liam has often been publicly in favour of a reunion, with Noel usually the more reluctant of the two.
However, the older Gallagher has previously joked he would reunite the band for £100m.
While Liam has focused on a solo career, Noel started a new band, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.
Both have performed at Glastonbury Festival in recent years – a setting often touted by fans as the perfect place for a surprise Oasis reunion.
Of course, fans have reacted…
Here are a few of the best tweets from people who are now desperate for Liam to pick up the phone:
‘Please give the fans what they want LG’
‘GIVE HIM A CALL’
‘Blood is thicker than water Liam x’
‘The things I would do to get a ticket to an Oasis reunion can not be said on here.’

‘The hardest-working star in pop’
The album follows last year’s The Tortured Poets Department, which was released during the Eras tour.
That tour, with shows on five continents and in 51 cities, raked in more than $2.2bn (£1.62bn) and was the highest-grossing tour of all time.

“This album is about what was going on behind the scenes in my inner life during this tour, which was so exuberant and electric and vibrant,” Swift said during her podcast appearance.
Sky News culture and entertainment reporter Gemma Peplow said after her globe-trotting tour and a swathe of re-releases over recent years, the new album cemented Swift’s reputation “as the hardest-working star in pop”.
Disgraced US film producer Harvey Weinstein is to be tried for a third time in a sexual assault case.
A jury in New York could not reach a verdict in June against the 73-year-old who was accused of raping actress Jessica Mann, and a mistrial was declared.
Judge Curtis Farber has said he wants the new trial to happen before the end of this year.
The same jury found Weinstein guilty in June of sexually assaulting former Project Runway production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and not guilty of assaulting Polish former runway model Kaja Sokola the same year.
Weinstein will be sentenced for the guilty verdict in Ms Haley’s case on 30 September.
He denied all of the charges. Throughout the retrial, his lawyers insisted the sexual encounters with his three accusers were “transactional” and “consensual,” and labelled the women as opportunists.
Weinstein was originally convicted of rape and criminal sexual act by the same court in 2020 and sentenced to 23 years in prison for the crimes.
Last year, however, New York’s highest court overturned the conviction, prompting Weinstein’s retrial this summer.
Weinstein was once one of the most powerful people in Hollywood – the co-founder of film and television production companies Miramax and The Weinstein Company, who produced films such as the Oscar-winning Shakespeare In Love, Pulp Fiction, and The Crying Game.

In 2017, a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him propelled the #MeToo movement.
Some of those accusations later led to criminal charges and his convictions in New York and California.
Before the retrial, Weinstein was also serving a 16-year prison sentence after being found guilty of rape in California in December 2022. He has also denied this charge.
