Liam Gallagher Looks Back on ‘Lost Time’ Ahead of Possible Oasis Reunion: ‘We Threw Away Something Valuable’

Oasis disbanded in 2009 after a dispute between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Oasis is taking a moment to reflect on the past as they prepare for their long-awaited comeback.
On June 11, a fan took to X (formerly Twitter) to ask Liam Gallagher how it felt to be performing alongside his brother Noel once again after so much time had passed. “How does it feel singing songs with your brother again? Like the old days?” the fan asked.
Liam, now 52, responded with a mix of nostalgia and regret. “It’s a spiritual experience,” he replied, “but I can’t help thinking about all the years we lost — such a waste of precious time.”
Another user asked about the renewed attention surrounding the band: “All eyes are on you and Oasis again — does it feel like pressure or just business as usual?” Liam’s answer was straightforward: “If there was pressure, I wouldn’t be doing it. That’s not who I am.”
Oasis was formed in Manchester in 1991 with brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, along with Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan, and Tony McCarroll. They rose to global fame with hits like Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Don’t Look Back in Anger, and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
Throughout the band’s history, rumors swirled about frequent tensions between the Gallagher siblings, contributing to the band’s reputation for internal strife.
Arthurs and McGuigan exited the group in 1999, followed a few years later by drummer Alan White, who had joined in 1995.
In 2009, following a backstage altercation between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, Noel, now 58, decided to leave the group. He announced his departure that same night via the band’s website, writing: “With some sadness and great relief… I quit Oasis tonight. People will say what they like, but I simply couldn’t work with Liam for another day.”
After the split, both brothers went their separate ways musically, with Noel forming a new band and Liam continuing to perform with other former Oasis members. Their feud continued publicly for years.
Rumors of a reunion surfaced often but never materialized — until August 2024. Just days before the reveal, Oasis posted a mysterious video on Instagram, teasing the date August 27, 2024, with a time stamp of 8:00 a.m.
When the time arrived, the band officially confirmed their reunion with a statement: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised.”
The band’s reunion tour is set to begin in the summer of 2024, with shows planned across the UK and Ireland.
