Your support makes all the difference.Noel Gallagher took to Twitter to respond to his brother Liam's claim that he turned down a £100m offer of an Oasis reunion.
The Oasis reunion rumours began on Monday 3 February when Liam tweeted: “We’ve been offered 100 million pounds for a tour still not enough for the greedy soul oh well stay young LG.”
Just minutes earlier, Liam had tweeted: “Wahey we’re getting back together” and that “rich as f*** Noel” was “doing it for nothing”, while Liam, being “desperate”, was doing it for the money.
In response, Noel wrote to his millions of followers: “To whoever might be arsed: I am not aware of any offer from anybody for any amount of money to reform the legendary Mancunian Rock’n’Roll group Oasis”,
He continued: "I am fully aware though that someone has a single to promote so that’s maybe where the confusion lies".
Both brothers have enjoyed successful solo careers since Oasis split in 2009.
Liam is playing a number of festivals this summer, including Latitude, Rock in Rio Lisboa, and Snowbombing, as well as tour dates in support of his album.
Noel Gallagher‘s High Flying Birds released their last album, Who Built the Moon?, in 2017. An EP, Blue Moon Rising, will follow 2019’s This is the Place on 6 March.
