Oasis Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Liam Gallagher has taken to Twitter to respond after his brother Noel said he “fucking dares” him to call him up and discuss an Oasis reunion.The comments arose during a recent interview with Seattle radio station 98.9 KPNW, when Noel was asked about the possibility of an Oasis reunion.Here, Noel — who is currently touring in the US in support of his latest High Flying Birds album ‘Council Skies’ — insisted that neither he nor his brother want the reunion to take place. He also stated that although Liam continues to say he wants Oasis to reform online, if he did want to make the prospect into a reality he would have already called him up to organise it.“Look, he’s gonna have to call me.

Foo Fighters and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are currently in a neck-and-neck race to reach the Number One spot on the UK album charts this week.Both acts released their latest LPs — ‘But Here We Are’ and ‘Council Skies’ — last Friday (June 2) and as it stands, it is too close to call which one will reach the peak position on the Official Album Chart by the end of this week.Currently at the midweek mark, Noel Gallagher has surpassed the American rockers and stands as the UK’s best-selling album with his fourth solo album with High Flying Birds. That being said, the two remain almost neck and neck, as just 200 units separate them from first and second position.The victory would no doubt mark an important milestone for Foo Fighters, as ‘But Here We Are’ marks their first full-length LP since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins in March last year.

Mantra Of The Cosmos, the new British supergroup made up of some of the most influential acts from the past 30 years, have released a single.Featuring Shaun Ryder (Happy Mondays, Black Grape), Zak Starkey (The Who, Oasis), Andy Bell (Oasis, Ride) and Bez (Happy Mondays, Black Grape), their debut track ‘Gorilla Guerilla’ has been described as “a fantastic psychedelic groove from a band of misfits, outsiders and innovators,” by Starkey.The track comes with a colourful and trippy music video directed by Ryder’s son Olli Ryder. Mantra Of The Cosmos debuted the song at an intimate show in London’s famous club, The Box.Starkey came up with the idea for the band, which has Ryder on vocals, Bell on guitar, and Bez and Starkey on percussion.

Noel Gallagher has spoken to NME about his love of The Cure, and how Robert Smith came to remix his recent single ‘Pretty Boy’.Back in March, Gallagher shared Smith’s “spacey remix” of the Johnny Marr-featuring single, taken from his acclaimed new album with The High Flying Birds, ‘Council Skies‘. Now in a new interview with NME’s In Conversation series, the former Oasis guitarist and songwriter has discussed how they came to collaborate.Gallagher explained: “Because the song [‘Pretty Boy’] sounds like The Cure I was like, ‘Does Robert Smith do remixes?’ I got hold of his email, the first line was, ‘Hi Robert, it’s Noel Gallagher’.

Noel Gallagher has responded to the AI-generated “lost” Oasis album that was released earlier this year.The eight-track ‘AISIS’ album was developed by indie band Breezer, who created their own tracks over lockdown before adding an AI take of Liam Gallagher’s vocals over the top.Described as an “alternate reality concept album”, it came about after the band got “bored of waiting for Oasis to reform.”Responding to the record, Liam took to Twitter to confirm he’d listened to a couple of the tracks and they were “better than all the other snizzle out there.” He went on to call the project “mad as fuck” before adding that his AI vocals sounded “mega”.Speaking to NME as part of the ongoing In Conversation series, Noel Gallagher has now had his say on the AI-generated album. “These fucking idiots have clearly got too much time on their hands and too much money that they can afford the technology to fucking piss around doing that for a laugh,” said Noel before revealing that he was “saving up for the technology myself.”“Then I’m just gonna dial it in to some computer and fucking churn it out when I’m 73. I’ll have 140 albums to go after I’m fucking dead to keep my kids in choc ices and fucking weed.” Noel added: “People kept sending me stuff like Ringo Starr singing ‘She’s Electric’.

NME, Noel Gallagher has revealed what he considers to be the “flaws” in each of the albums he has made – both with Oasis and solo with The High Flying Birds.Gallagher sat down with NME for the latest in our In Conversation series, when he started by admitting that he is already troubled with an issue with his acclaimed new album ‘Council Skies‘, released just last week.Speaking of the track ‘Think Of A Number’ which he admitted “has got a Bowie feel to it”, Gallagher admitted: “If I had my time again I’d have that as the opening track. Every album that I make tends to be flawed in some way.“This is almost perfect, but the biggest flaw here is that the opening track ‘I’m Not Giving Up Tonight’ should be the closing track and ‘Think Of A Number’ should be the opener – but I didn’t think it was strong enough until it was too late.

Liam Gallagher has shared his opinion on brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher‘s recent cover of Joy Division‘s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’.On Thursday (June 1), Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds performed a live cover of the Joy Division song as part of the BBC Radio 2 Piano Room series, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra. “I would play this song, this version of it, at home down the years,” he said.Gallagher expressed initial trepidation about performing his rendition: “I was like, ‘How can I get away with that?’ Because it’s such an iconic [song] and, being from Manchester… well,  this is going to be tricky.”He added: “But now I’ve got my own studio, I went and did a little demo of it and I was like ‘You know what? I think I might be able to pull this off.’ So we’re going to do’‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ by the Divs.”Gallagher’s brother Liam was among those who took issue with the rendition.

Noel Gallagher has responded to Matty Healy’s comments calling for an Oasis reunion, and described him as a “slack-jawed fuckwit”.The singer-songwriter was speaking in a new interview with Spin, promoting his upcoming High Flying Birds album ‘Council Skies’, when the topic of an Oasis reunion arose.It was here that he was asked what he thought about comments made by The 1975 frontman Healy, who argued that both Liam and Noel Gallagher needed to “grow up” and reform. He also claimed that they should bring the group back together because “there’s not one kid, not one person, going to a High Flying Birds gig or a Liam Gallagher gig that would not rather be at an Oasis gig.”While the comments ended up gathering a huge response online — and even provoked backlash from Liam Gallagher, who responded by saying “it’s our time to waste, who made him the boss of time?” — apparently Noel missed the commotion altogether and wasn’t aware of the singer’s comments until now.“Oh, that fucking slack-jawed fuckwit.

Matty Healy has been catching strays from all sides recently. The 1975 frontman continues to face blowback over some racially-tinged jokes on a podcast, with fans of his rumored new girlfriend Taylor Swift writing her an open letter decrying their unconfirmed coupling.

Liam Gallagher has responded to recent comments made by his brother Noel, accusing him of being too much of a “coward” to organise an Oasis reunion.Noel was speaking to talkSport radio this week, when the High Flying Birds frontman and former Oasis member discussed the possibility of the Brit-pop icons reforming — and suggested that blame should be put on Liam.“Well, I put it out there. [Liam] won’t call… I mean, he should call me, because he’s like, he’s forever going on about it.

Noel Gallagher has explained that his younger self wouldn’t be too happy about his collaboration with Blur frontman and former Britpop rival Damon Albarn.The former Oasis member reflected on his time working with Albarn in 2017 in a new interview with The Big Issue (via Music-News.COM).The team-up in question was when Gallagher contributed backing vocals to Gorillaz‘s track ‘We Got The Power’, which appears on the band’s 2017 album ‘Humanz’. “What would my younger self think of me working with Damon Albarn,” he pondered.“It would depend entirely on what side of the bed I got out of on that day,” he added.

Blur frontman Damon Albarn has said that he’d “put money on” an Oasis reunion.The singer was speaking as Blur themselves begin their comeback tour in their hometown of Colchester tonight (May 19).“I can guarantee they’re going to reform,” Albarn told The Sun of the chances of the Gallaghers burying the hatchet. “In fact, I’ve put money on it.”Discussing Blur’s ’90s nemeses, he added: “They’re brothers and it would be wonderful to see them reconcile.“The only funny thing is that our two nights at Wembley will be dwarfed by their SEVEN!”Three years ago, in a cover interview with NME about his solo career, Liam said that an Oasis reunion was “gonna happen very soon”.

Liam Gallagher has told fans that he wants to celebrate 30 years of Oasis’ debut album, ‘Definitely Maybe’, by performing the tracklist in full.The singer-songwriter announced his intentions on social media earlier today (May 11), telling fans that they can expect to see him hitting the stage soon in celebration of the album’s anniversary.‘Definitely Maybe’ was the first full-length LP from the iconic Brit-pop band, which he founded with his brother Noel, and 2024 will mark three decades since it was first released.According to Gallagher, he not only intends to perform fan favourites including ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Star’, ‘Live Forever’ and ‘Supersonic’ at live shows, but wants to play the album in its entirety and in the official order of the track listing.“As it’s 30 years since [‘Definitely Maybe’] was released nxt year I’m gonna be playing the album from start to finish in its original order at a few BIBLICAL venues,” he wrote on Twitter.Although it isn’t yet clear what “biblical” venues the vocalist is referring to, it can be expected that wherever he chooses is likely to sell out, as fans have been persistently calling for an Oasis reformation in recent years.As it’s 30 years since DM was released nxt year I’m gonna be playing the album from start to finish in it’s original order at a few BIBLICAL venues LG x— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) May 11, 2023If the live shows do come to fruition, they will not be the only way that the members are planning on celebrating the milestone.

Oasis guitarist Bonehead has claimed that a band reunion would be “worth it”, due to the impact it would have on the younger generation of fans.The musician — whose real name is Paul Arthurs — was hosting a Coronation Weekend special for the Radio X station yesterday (May 8), when he discussed the possibility of the band reforming.It was here that the former Oasis member, who was with the band when they formed in the early 1990s up until August 1999, told his audience that he would like to see them reunite for a live show. The main reason for this being because of how much it would mean to younger fans, who were never given the opportunity to see them play live.“Never say never, I would say,” Bonehead said when asked about the possibility of a reunion by presenter Toby Tarrant. “Realistically? I don’t know.

Oasis guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs has said that he wouldn’t accept a knighthood and neither would Liam Gallagher.Bonehead co-hosted Bonehead’s Bank Holiday on Radio X today (May 8), where he spoke about the Manchester band, his thoughts on a reunion and more.With the show being an addition to the schedule due to the bonus Bank Holiday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles, Radio X’s Toby Tarrant naturally brought up questions about the monarchy.Tarrant noted that “Sir Bonehead has a nice ring to it”, then asked the guitarist if he’d ever be on the honours list.“Probably got a good ring to it, but no I wouldn’t take it,” Bonehead said. “Not that I’m anti royal or anti-this, no I just wouldn’t do it.

Shaun Ryder has formed a new band consisting of ‘90s music icons, called Mantra Of The Cosmos.The Happy Mondays frontman revealed the new supergroup in an interview with The Sun’s Bizarre column, and announced to fans that new music and a Glastonbury debut are imminent.Mantra Of The Cosmos is formed of Ryder, former Oasis bassist Andy Bell, The Lightning Seeds guitarist and vocalist, Ian Broudie, and drummer Zak Starkey — who has previously performed with The Who.Former Happy Mondays percussionist, Bez — real name Mark Berry — is the final name completing the lineup, and as confirmed by Ryder, an album is on the way.“I’ve got a new band together. It’s me, Zak Starkey, you know, Ringo [Starr’s] son, and the drummer in The Who, Andy Bell from Oasis and Ian Broudie from The Lightning Seeds.

The first gangster footballer,” Gallagher said, before recalling a story about the Italian player who used to play for Manchester City.“I was at training once and we come in and [Balotelli’s] camouflage Bentley was parked sideways in the carpark,” Gallagher said.

Noel Gallagher has said he thinks the sitcom Friends and coffee culture are to blame for declining music sales.The former Oasis guitarist and songwriter discussed how changes in people’s spending habits has affected how they support artists, particularly when streaming services have given them access to all the music they could possibly want for free. Indeed, he said that he struggled to understand how people will spend their money in coffee shops – the growth of which he put down to the characters in Friends frequently socialising in one – but not music.According to the Daily Star, Gallagher said: “Sitting around in sweaters drinking overpriced coffee and talking about nonsense.“Since the rise of the coffee shop, culture has disappeared.

Twitter‘s decision to remove its verified blue ticks.From today (April 20), the checkmark that authenticates legacy accounts on the platform will be removed from all profiles unless users opt-in to pay for Twitter Blue subscriptions.This change is “more about treating people equally”, according to Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter in late 2022 for a staggering $44billion. He added that the move would “offer subscribers a way to enhance and customize their Twitter experience”.As the blue tick began to vanish from the site, various musicians, comedians, TV personalities, and other stars from across the entertainment industry tweeted their reactions.Yungblud wrote: “I ain’t verified anymore … kinda hard.” The Doncaster artist then shared a selfie in response to a fan who asked him to “prove” it was the real Dominic Harrison.

Liam Gallagher has responded to the “lost” Oasis album that was created using AI and recently went viral.The album was made by UK band Breezer, who imagined what it would sound like if Oasis were to reform and release a new album in 2023. It featured Breezer’s original tracks – written throughout 2021 – with the singer’s vocals replaced by an AI-generated version of  Gallagher’s.Less than a week since debuting online, the album – cleverly named ‘AISIS’ – has already gathered tens of thousands of views, kickstarted an online debate, and had an overwhelmingly positive response from many Oasis fans.Even more surprising, however, is that former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher enjoyed the project, and has taken to social media to praise the indie band for making something “better” than a lot of other releases.The response was prompted when a fan asked the singer if he had “listened to the AISIS album yet” on Twitter earlier today (April 19).

Oasis might sound like if they were to reform and release a new album in 2023.The eight-track album – cleverly entitled ‘AISIS’ – was developed by indie band Breezer, who created their own tracks, then added an AI version of Liam Gallagher’s voice over the top.It envisions how the band might sound today, if they were to reform and release new music that fitted in with their iconic sound captured throughout the ’90s. All eight tracks are original releases, created by Breezer throughout the 2021 lockdown.Describing the project as an “alternate reality concept album”, the members of Breezer explained how they came up with the idea after becoming fed up with waiting for the Brit-pop icons to regroup.

Sleaford Mods have spoken about the time they met Liam Gallagher, recalling how the run-in felt like “being in a bar in the early noughties”.The Nottingham duo and the former Oasis frontman both opened for Iggy Pop at Release Athens Festival in Greece last summer.“He and [the Mods’] Andrew [Fearn] got on like a house on fire!” vocalist Jason Williamson remembered in an interview with MOJO. “You just wouldn’t think they would, but they were like long-lost cousins.“[Gallagher] was going to Andrew, ‘I want to break out of this and do something different musically’. I told Andrew that he was probably asking him for some beats.”Williamson continued: “They were off their heads.

No one has really come along to take our place,” he said.

Liam Gallagher has responded to The 1975 frontman Matty Healy calling for an Oasis reunion, who he told to “grow up” and reform.In a recent interview with Q With Tom Power, a radio show aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Healy discussed inter-band tensions in The 1975, and how they overcome them by being silly.Turning his attention towards bands that “get so serious” about something that’s, in his view, “not that complicated,” he said: “What are Oasis doing?” he continued. “Can you imagine being in potentially – right now, still – the coolest band in the world, and not doing it because you’re in a mard with your brother?”Healy said that he could handle Liam and Noel Gallagher “dressing like they’re in their 20s and being in their 50s”, but not “acting like they’re in their 20s”.
