Liam Gallagher says the band “have unfinished business”
Singer Liam Gallagher has addressed ongoing speculation about a possible Oasis reunion, responding to rumors that the band could reform for the Ariana Grande Manchester benefit concert this weekend.
Liam and older brother Noel are both Manchester natives. Relations between the two have been strained in the years following the band’s split in 2009, but recently Liam sent Noel a heartfelt birthday message for his 50th.
This led to rumors of a possible Liam and Noel Gallagher reunion ahead of the benefit concert held in response to the recent Manchester terrorist attack.
During an interview on BBC Radio 1 this week, Liam (who is promoting his new album), was asked about the reunion rumors; “Mate, I don’t think so. I mean, I’m up for it but I think we’re booked for a gig somewhere. I think we’re playing in Germany, so we’re already booked, but I would have loved to have done it.” Gallagher is indeed set to play Germany’s Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring this weekend.
Asked about his birthday wishes to Noel, Liam explained: “Yeah, well you know, getting old now ain’t he, you know what I mean.” On whether a reconciliation could be happening, he added: “No, it ain’t. Everyone knows I love our kid… He doesn’t speak to me, we don’t speak to each other. I’ll speak to him some day. It’s all very sad, but we’ll get over it… I guess it mustn’t be nice for my mam… If Oasis ever got back together… if they do, they do. If they don’t, they don’t. A lot of people go, ‘Oh, leave it in the past, you were great then’. Mate, if we ever got back together, it would be happening. There’d be no dodgy gigs, it’d be bang on. So there is unfinished business there, but we’ll see what happens. In the meantime, we’re two little solo boys doing our little things innit.”
