Oasis reunites after brutal backstage brawl ends 15-year feud: 'The guns have fallen silent'


Members of the iconic British rock band Oasis have put aside their differences after 15 years.

“Wonderwall” singers and brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have ended their 15-year feud and reunited onstage for an upcoming global tour.

The band's website states, “Oasis have today ended years of speculation with the confirmation of long-awaited shows in the UK and Ireland.”

“The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. This will not be televised.”

In addition to their statement, Oasis also shared a video montage of their past performances with huge crowds at their popular concerts.

The video clip shared on Instagram begins with, “Me and Liam are telepathic, if you know what I mean.”

“I know my brother better than anyone else. When the two come together, you become great.”

The “Don't Look Back in Anger” singers' announcement comes after they surprisingly disbanded nearly 15 years ago.

Oasis split in 2009 after years of internal strife, with Noel officially leaving the band just before they were due to perform at a festival near Paris.

Even before the disbandment, the two brothers had a long-standing hostile relationship and reportedly did not speak to each other for several years following the disbandment.

“People will write and say whatever they want, but I couldn't go another day working with Liam,” the band's guitarist and songwriter Noel wrote in a statement at the time of the breakup.

Although the Gallagher brothers have not performed together since, both regularly perform Oasis songs at their solo shows. They have also criticised each other in the press.

Noel blamed his younger brother for having a hangover that caused him to cancel a concert in 2009. The frontman denied the accusation and filed a lawsuit, which was later withdrawn.

In a 2011 interview with The Associated Press, Noel revealed that he had left the band “when Liam started wielding the guitar like an axe… and he was swinging this guitar around and he blew my face off, you know?”

In 2019, Liam told the AP that he was ready for a reconciliation.

“The most important thing is that me and him are brothers,” he said. “They think I'm desperate to get the band back together for money. But I didn't join the band to make money. I joined the band to have fun and see the world.”

“I don't know what his problem is,” he added. “I think he just wanted to go away and have his solo career, make all the money and be surrounded by all these people you can fire and hire whenever you want. You can't do that to me.”

But now the brothers are preparing to reunite, with the band saying fans will experience “the excitement and intensity” that only happens when they appear on stage together.

Oasis will kick off their 2025 tour at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4 and 5.

Their website states, “Plans are also underway to hold OASIS LIVE '25 in other continents outside of Europe later next year.”
