Oasis singer Liam Gallagher says he and Noel won’t do interviews | Ents & Arts News
Liam Gallagher has revealed why he and his brother Noel “don’t want” to give interviews ahead of the Oasis reunion tour.
The band announced their reunion in August following a long-standing feud between Liam and Noel after the band split in 2009.
Liam, 52, revealed on X on Thursday that the brothers “don’t want to do interviews coz we’re scared of the media asking us intrusive questions and trying to pick holes in our relationship”.
Oasis‘s split in 2009 was prompted by a backstage brawl between Liam and Noel, 57, at the Rock en Seine festival in France.
They will reunite on stage for their first UK show since at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on 4 July.
Their string of 19 UK and Ireland dates have all sold out, including two extra Wembley shows, which sparked a furore over ticket sales and inflated prices.
The release of tickets last month in the UK prompted the government and the UK’s competition watchdog to pledge they would look at the use of dynamic pricing.
Some standard tickets more than doubled from £148 to £355, and the situation was blamed on “unprecedented demand”.
Ticketmaster has previously said it does not set concert prices and its website states this is down to the “event organiser” who “has priced these tickets according to their market value”.

Last month the younger Gallagher attacked critics of his vocals after performing in front of a packed, 96,000-strong Wembley Stadium ahead of the heavyweight title fight between Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois.
Liam walked on to a massive cheer and said “yes Wembley vibes in the air,” before launching into Rock ‘N’ Roll Star, Supersonic and Cigarettes & Alcohol.
But some fans called it “terrible”, prompting Liam to claim he had sung in “angelic tones” and accused critics of being “imposters” rather than fans.
