Patsy Kensit, who was once married to Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher recently spoke about the band’s reunion.
Patsy Kensit opens up on Oasis reunion
The couple tied the knot in 1997, welcoming son Lennon in 1999. The couple were together during the peak of his fame, and Liam is now making a comeback as Oasis are set to reunite in 2025. Patsy, who is now single spoke with HELLO! and explained why she no longer talks to ex Liam, and how she feels about her son attending his shows.
She has had ‘no contact’ with her former husbands ‘for a long time’. “I don’t have a relationship with their dads, which is really quite sad but it’s not about me. It’s disappointing but I’ve always supported a relationship between a father and a child; it’s really important as I didn’t have that growing up as my dad was in and out of prison.”
And while she says: “It’s wonderful that Lennon is going to see these Oasis reunion shows,” when the dates were recently announced, Patsy put a plea on social media requesting people stop asking her about it.
“It was 30 years ago!” she says. “I had a journalist say to me: ‘Oh, you must be devastated they are getting back together,’ but it’s quite the opposite. I am really pleased for them.”
Looking back on that time in her life, when she and Liam were at the centre of ‘cool Britannia’, Patsy says she was actually ‘slightly diluted’.
“I had worked for many years before I met my boys’ fathers and continued to work during the relationships and after but I just couldn’t compete. To navigate your way through that, I think you need a strong family background which I didn’t really have. But look, I had a great time! I had a few late nights …”
Oasis announced their return in August, just before the 30th anniversary of their debut album, ‘Definitely Maybe’. Initially, they planned 17 shows across five cities in the U.K. and Ireland, but high demand led to additional dates.
The reunion tour kicks off in Cardiff, Wales, on July 4th, 2025, and wraps up on November 8th, with shows in the U.S. and Australia as well. The official lineup hasn’t been confirmed, but reports suggest that bassist Andy Bell and guitarists Paul Arthurs and Gem Archer will join Liam and Noel Gallagher on stage.
Oasis would play in Sydney and Melbourne as part of their Australian stint. iam and Noel’s UK and Ireland tour includes seven nights at Wembley Stadium in London and five shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park. Support on this leg will come from Richard Ashcroft and Cast.
