This follows an exclusive report by The Daily Mirror, published yesterday (June 22), which claims Liam and Noel Gallagher had apparently booked dates for an Oasis reunion at Wembley Stadium in July this year, all before plans ultimately fell through.
An anonymous source told The Daily Mirror that fans were close to seeing a reunion this year. âUntil now, no one has known how close Liam and Noel came to making it a reality,â the source says. âIt doesnât get much closer than booking Wembley, and their teams were devastated when it all collapsed yet again.â
âBut the fact they made it to that point shows thereâs a will on both sides. The hope is it will be a case of not if, but when.â When contacted by NME, representatives for Liam and Noel respectively declined to comment.
Liam is currently touring in support of the bandâs debut album âDefinitely Maybeâ, which turns 30 this year. In February, Liam shared that Noel turned down an opportunity to reunite for the tour.
âI did call him! Well, my people called Noelâs management team,â claimed Liam. âWe put an offer on the table for an Oasis thing â because we got offered it â and he said no. It was a big tour, a lot of money. He turned it down. I get it, heâs got a divorce going down. Iâll do the âDefinitely Maybeâ thing and have a nice time without him.â
Liam also reflected on the bandâs 2009 demise, revealing to The Sunday Times that tensions came to a head after he swung one of Noelâs guitars âlike an axeâ backstage at a show in Paris.
âMaybe someone can get a bit tetchy on tour,â he lamented. âMaybe someone drinks a bit too much. But we didnât have to split up over it.â For now, Liam regularly leaves a seat reserved for Noel, including all shows on the current âDefinitely Maybeâ tour.
The tour sees Liam digging up early rarities from the bandâs catalogue. Last week, Liam debuted a rap verse from a demo of âColumbiaâ, which will be included in the upcoming 30th anniversary edition of âDefinitely Maybeâ.
