Liam Gallagher has reiterated his belief that Oasis will eventually reunite – once his brother Noel Gallagher comes to the understanding that “he’s not that good” without him.
Previously, the Beady Eye frontman suggested a potential reunion for the 20th anniversary of their iconic album ‘What’s The Story (Morning Glory)’ in 2015, but Noel declined the proposal.
Now, the singer expresses his confidence that the band will get back together, but it hinges on his elder brother’s realization of his dependence on him.
He mentioned, “I’m sure we’re gonna get back together. Noel’s got to do his solo thing – and realize he’s not that good without his younger brother.”
Gallagher, who had earlier indicated a desire to tour but not to be “in a full-on band” with Noel again, elaborated: “And then, 2015, the ‘Morning Glory’ 20th anniversary tour. It was him who initiated the idea, and now he’s claiming he’s not interested, but I am. If the fans want it, then the fans will receive it.”
He also responded to critics of Beady Eye, particularly those who dismissed their debut album ‘Different Gear, Still Speeding,’ assuring that the next LP would be “life-changing.”
“The notion that we wouldn’t be able to produce a quality album together is nonsensical,” he stated. “I know what I’m doing; Gem and Andy have been crafting great songs for years, so they are well-equipped. Why wouldn’t it be good?
“It wasn’t life-changing, but the next album… that will indeed be life-changing. It will also be a much grander affair, complete with strings.”
Next year, Noel Gallagher is set to embark on the road again with his largest solo performances to date.
