Fifteen years of separation

For fifteen years, relations were strained between Noel, the guitarist and principal songwriter, and his younger brother Liam, the singer. They reportedly found common ground over the phone in recent days. “Noel and Liam will never be best friends, but they want to bring Oasis back for the fans. They’re not getting any younger and the need is huge. They decided it’s now or never. A source close to the group explained to The Sun.

The tour, originally planned for the United Kingdom, could bring in around £400 million (€472.5 million), according to English newspapers, with around £50 million for each of the brothers.

But is it just a matter of money? Angry Brethren in England, Joined by William and Harry, Their mother Becky, 81, could no longer bear them fighting and hoped her two sons would play together again on stage. Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, former guitarist for the first edition of Oasis, will also act as a conciliator.

With which musicians?

But, he will not be in the party. Apart from Liam and Noel, none of the original members of the group were to be part of this reformation. Noel made it a condition that he join the musicians of his new group High Flying Birds. Among them, Jem Archer (guitar) and Chris Sarok (drums) have already played in Oasis.

The revamp comes as Liam Gallagher wraps up a series of concerts to celebrate 30 years since the release of Oasis’ debut album. Definitely possible. A reissue of the disc, enriched with previously unreleased recordings, is due out this Friday. It specifically features alternative versions of the songs that launched Oasis to international success. The story of Oasis is an intervention into the past, which is completely unexpected, to be rewritten in the present.
