The only thing that has been missing from the Oasis reunion so far is joint interviews with both Noel and Liam Gallagher. There was no big press conference at the beginning, and there were no meetings with television, the press or any media.
Well, get used to it. According to Liam, this is how he and Noel will handle the reunion. Why? Because they don’t want to answer “intrusive” questions.
“We don’t want to do interviews because we’re afraid the media will ask us prying questions and try to find holes in our relationship,” Liam posted on Twitter/X yesterday (October 10). When one fan responded cheekily with a bit of flattery by saying “I think Noel doesn’t want to interview you because you’re more fun,” Liam only replied: “Respect.”

Later when another fan asked about a potential joint interview, the 52-year-old singer replied: “Can’t be excited,” adding, “We’re not doing anything” and “They won’t get 1.”
The idea that these two media veterans can’t handle “intrusive” questions is frankly ridiculous. Is their rapprochement really that fragile? Or is Liam’s “can’t be aroused” attitude closer to the truth? I mean, it’s not like they need publicity to change tickets.
However, you have to say it’s disappointing. As anyone who has interviewed either of them – together or separately – knows, Noel and Liam are a journalist’s dream. Funny and candid In an age when pop stars are trained to make little but sweet revelations, the Gallaghers are the last of their breed: born stars who probably emerged from the womb with catchy quotes.
This is the duo whose first NME interview in 1994 – which degenerated into an argument over who was more “rock ‘n’ roll” – was released as a single and reached number 52 during the height of Oasismania in late 1995. You can’t quite imagine that’s what It happens, for example, with The Killers.
There’s no doubt about it, the Oasis would be less exciting without interviews.
Meanwhile the tour continues to expand. Australian dates have added to the brothers’ itinerary with shows scheduled at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on October 31 and Sydney’s Accor Stadium on November 7. You better run, you better take cover… We’re coming. Welcome. Oasis will be touring Australia in 2025! The band’s Twitter/X account was announced earlier this week.
