Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher has shared his thoughts on Saturday Night Live recently doing a mock Oasis reunion and poking fun at the Gallagher brothers’ past tensions, which has drawn mixed reactions from viewers.

On October 12th show, James Austin Johnson and Sarah Sherman appeared in the “Weekend Update” sketch as the formerly estranged brothers and promised host Colin Jost they won’t break up again before their ‘LIVE 25‘ tour next year.
“Everyone’s wondering, are you guys gonna be cool to tour a year from now?” Jost asked the Gallaghers. “I’m cool if he’s cool,” Johnson’s Noel responded, with Sherman’s Liam replying: “I’m cool, I’m cool, I’m cooler than you are.”
“Great, so that’s a no,” Jost remarked. “It’s not a hard no, it’s a maybe,” Sherman said.
Johnson had then burst into a rendition of ‘Wonderwall’, with amended lyrics including: “I said maybe, if Liam doesn’t act like a baby,” which inspired the two bickering even more, calling each other babies and sticking their tongues out at each other.
Viewers quickly criticized the sketch, with one taking to X/Twitter to say it was “just as cringe as you imagine”. One also tagged Liam in a clip, to which he replied: “Are they meant to be comedians.”

The ‘SNL’ sketch followed the news Oasis will be taking the tour to North America and Mexico next year, which was announced just days after cities were reported where Oasis will be playing on their upcoming 2025 reunion tour.
They’ll kick off on August 24th with an opening night at the Rogers Stadium in Toronto, before Liam and Noel head over to the United States for three shows. These include a night at Soldier Field in Chicago and a gig at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on August 28th and 31th respectively, followed by a show at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles on September 6th.
