Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher expressed disdain for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame over the years, but he has called the announcement of Oasis‘ induction this year “a real honor” via Rolling Stone.
In a series of tweets, Gallagher responded to Oasis being invited to join the institution alongside Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan.
Gallagher tweeted, “Reverse psychology vibes in the area Oasis RnR hall of farmers I mean famers. I wanna thank all the people who voted for us it’s a real honour ever since I was a little kid and singing in the shower I’d dream about 1 day being in the RnR hall of fame it’s true what they say anything is possible if you have a dream.”
When a fan asked “What happened to not wanting to be in it?,” Gallagher replied, “Well I was speaking to my mummy last night when the news broke and she thinks I may have been a little hasty with my perception of the organization she’s told me to stop being a d*ck and go to the awards and behave and you never know you might enjoy it.”
It is not clear whether he’s being sarcastic but the comments are in contrast to how Gallagher has spoken about the Rock Hall in the past. In 2024, when Oasis was nominated for the first time, he told The Sunday Times,
“As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say: Do me a favor and f*ck off. It’s like putting me in the rap hall of fame, and I don’t want to be part of anything that mentally disturbed. Besides, I’ve done more for rock & roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it’s all a load of bollocks.”
