In what could be a long-awaited glimmer of hope for Oasis fans worldwide, Liam Gallagher has hinted at the possibility of a reunion with his estranged brother and former bandmate, Noel Gallagher. The iconic Britpop band, known for their anthemic hits and sibling rivalry, disbanded amidst a backstage altercation in Paris back in 2009, leaving fans yearning for a reconciliation ever since.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Liam, 51, shared his belief that Noel, 56, may finally be ready to mend fences and initiate the much-anticipated reunion. Reflecting on Noel’s previous comments where he stated he was waiting for Liam to reach out regarding reunion plans, Liam asserted his stance, firmly placing the responsibility on his brother to make the first move.
“He knows I’m not going to call him,” Liam remarked, alluding to the rift caused by Noel’s decision to leave the band. “He’s the one who split the band up, so he’ll be doing the calling, and if there is no calling we won’t be getting back together.”
However, despite this stance, Liam expressed optimism about the prospect of a reunion, particularly noting recent changes in Noel’s personal life, including his split from wife Sara last year. Liam’s hopeful anticipation led him to envision a scenario where Noel reflects on past conflicts and extends an olive branch to his younger brother.
“To be fair, though, I can see it happening,” Liam remarked. “Now things have changed in his personal life, I can see him looking back, not looking back in anger, and going, ‘Do you know what? I was really mean to my little brother. Now it is time for me to send him a box of chocolates.'”
With Liam’s optimism and Noel’s personal circumstances potentially paving the way for reconciliation, fans of Oasis are eagerly awaiting any developments that may signal the long-awaited reunion of one of Britain’s most iconic bands. As speculation continues to swirl, the possibility of a musical comeback from the Gallagher brothers remains a tantalizing prospect, offering a beacon of hope for fans of Britpop everywhere.
