Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher recently stated that he and Noel have no plans to do any joint interviews as they’re “scared of the media asking us intrusive questions and trying to pick holes in our relationship”.
Liam Gallagher talks about not doing interviews with Noel
It comes after the two brothers – who formed Oasis together in the early ‘90s and split in 2009 following tensions – confirmed that they were back on good terms and announced their long-awaited reunion back in August. While no plans for new music have been officially confirmed yet, they have been sharing a long string of gigs in the UK, Ireland, Australia, the US and Mexico.
After announcing the UK dates, they told fans that these would be their only shows in Europe, and vowed that they will not be making any festival appearances next year.
Now, Liam has confirmed that he and Noel have no intentions of doing any interviews together, as they are “scared” of being asked personal questions and of the media potentially trying to pick apart their relationship.
The Britpop icon dropped the update on X/Twitter on October 10th and responded to a fan who shared a post reading: “Fans we must acknowledge that liam and noel’s relationship > oasis as a band. Their relationship has been marked by estrangement for years, and we must note that the media contributed to their tensions.”
In a reply message, Liam wrote “RESPEK”, before going on to add: “We don’t want to do interviews coz we’re scared of the media asking us intrusive questions and trying to pick holes in our relationship.”
He also told another fan who questioned him about the potential of a joint interview with Noel, saying that part of the reason was also because he “can’t be arsed”.
While no joint interviews between the brothers have been locked in yet – and it now seems increasingly likely that none are expected for the near future – the two have been vocal about their relationship in separate public appearances.
Liam, for instance, has frequently opened up to fans on social media and shed light on his relationship with his brother.
After taking a brief break from Twitter around the time of the comeback announcement, Liam has been pretty vocal on the platform, and responded to a fan last month who asked if he was going to stop “tweeting sh*t about Noel”.
“Nope it’s all done, peace has prevailed, he’s the man,” Liam replied. “I can’t wait to be on stage with him blowing him kisses in between each song.”
That prompted another to ask, “Is Noel still a potato?”, referring to a long-running insult that the singer has used for his brother. “No he is bloody well not,” Liam retorted. “I won’t have a bad word said about that gorgeous talented young man.”
