Noel Gallagher rejects Liam’s reunion offer
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 26 October 2011
Noel Gallagher has rejected his brother Liam’s suggestion of getting Oasis back together in 2015 to mark the 20th anniversary of their second album, ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’
As previously reported, Liam recently told Rolling Stone: “In 2015, if we can put our shit aside, [Oasis] can tour and play the [second] album in its entirety for the 20th anniversary. I’d be up for that”. He then added that he’s “not desperate for it”, but has reiterated the offer since. It seems Noel’s not keen though.
This week, Noel told BBC Newsbeat: “He’s got my permission to go and play it. He can play it if he wants. I don’t mind. I left that band for a reason and that reason still stands”.
Although Liam claimed in the same Rolling Stone interview that “[Noel] needs to do his solo thing first and realise he’s not that good without his brother”, Noel’s debut solo album went to number one in the UK albums chart last weekend, selling almost double what Beady Eye’s debut (which peaked at number three) managed in its first week.
