The Oasis reunion is off (not that it was ever on)

By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 22 December 2017

When Liam Gallagher tweeted earlier this week that things were “all good again” between him and his brother Noel, a lot of people took this to mean an Oasis reunion was now on the cards. I assumed they were all joking, but apparently bookies started slashing the odds on such a thing occurring. Well, sorry to break your tiny hearts, but it ain’t happening.

Apparently oblivious to the stir he’d caused, Liam expressed surprise about it all when asked what was going on by Australian newspaper The Age. There is no reunion. It turns out he and Noel haven’t even spoken directly. That things are “all good again” was an assumption on Liam’s part.

“I got a little thing through the door from his management team and so I think there’s been a bit of a reach out and a bit of a truce”, he said. “It’s all good – season of goodwill and all that, you know?”

Asked if an Oasis reunion was now a done deal, he replied: “God no, no. Oasis isn’t getting back together, not at all. I’m doing my thing, he’s doing his thing and that is the end of it. It’s still the same – it’s just that I’ve called a truce on it and he’s called a truce on it and no more slagging”.

Noel did apparently tell the Daily Star earlier this week that the NME giving his brother the Godlike Genius prize at next year’s NME Awards was like giving “the third choice goalkeeper a medal just for being there”. Maybe he said that before the truce was officially on though.

So, sorry to disappoint you. Tell you want, here’s that video of Liam making tea to cheer you up;
