Liam Gallagher Reflects on 'Wasted Years' as Oasis Reunion Approaches

Published: June 11, 2025

Oasis member Liam Gallagher is taking a moment to reflect on the time since the band broke up. The Manchester-founded band formed in 1991 and broke up in 2009 following a reported dispute between the brothers.

In response to a fan's question on X about performing with his brother, Liam, 52, shared a bittersweet response. "You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years what a waste of PRECIOUS time," he said.

The fan asked how Liam felt about being back in the spotlight, to which he responded: "I wouldn't do it if there was pressure I'm not that kind of soul."

The band, which included the Gallagher brothers, Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll, is best known for hits like "Wonderwall", "Stop Crying Your Heart Out", "Champagne Supernova", and "Don't Look Back in Anger".

Throughout the band's existence, there were rumors of sibling rivalry between Liam and Noel among the turbulent behind-the-scenes happenings. Arthurs and McGuigan left the band in 1999, and a few years later, drummer Allen White left as well.

In 2009, following a reported dispute between Liam and Noel backstage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, Noel left the band, essentially breaking up Oasis. The brothers feuded for years, with Noel forming a new band and Liam soldiering on with the remaining band members and snubbing one another.

There were rumors for years about an Oasis reunion, but nothing came to fruition until August 2024. Days before, the band posted a cryptic video on Instagram with the date Aug. 27, 2024, and an 8 a.m. timestamp. When the time came, Oasis announced their reunion.

"The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised," Oasis said in a statement, announcing their reunion tour in August 2024. The band has shows kicking off in the UK and Ireland this summer.
