In a new interview with MOJO magazine to promote his album with John Squire, Liam said of a potential Oasis reunion, “Noel? He ain’t fucking doing it… I did call him! Well, my people called Noel’s management team. We put an offer on the table for an Oasis thing — because we got offered it — and he said no. It was a big tour, a lot of money. He turned it down. I get it; he’s got a divorce going down. I’ll do the Definitely Maybe thing and have a nice time without him.”
“It’s down to the universe. It’ll happen when it happens; it’s not in our hands anymore. Me, I love nostalgia, though. I’m doing the lot. Every album, even… what was the last one?” When informed that it was Dig Out Your Soul, Liam continues, “Fucking right, man! You never enjoy them the first time round, so I’ll be milking the lot. People say it’s the comfort zone. I want to be in the comfort zone! Bring me my slippers and my little blankie and put me in the comfort zone, please. Life’s stressful enough.”
Liam Gallagher and John Squire’s self-titled album will be released on 1 March 2024, following their singles Just Like A Rainbow and Mars To Liverpool. The duo have also announced the details of their first UK tour together, as well as shows in Ireland, France, Germany, Italy and the USA – with Jake Bugg as special dates in all locations except Brooklyn.
