LIAM Gallagher has said that working with his brother Noel “bores the death” out of him and has ruled out an Oasis reunion in the near future.
The rocker said he still is not in contact with his brother and former band mate, although he admitted he misses him and the fans and singing Oasis songs.
In a Q&A with fans, Gallagher said he “can’t see it happening” when asked about the group reuniting.
He said: “Never say never, I guess, but at the moment, if I get up and running on this solo thing, it certainly won’t happen for a bit.
“Because there have been plenty of times that it could have happened and it should have happened and it didn’t.
“I’d like it to happen, because I miss him and I miss the band and I miss the fans and I miss singing them songs.
“But it’s in the lap of the gods, not Noel Gallagher, as much as he’d like to think he’s a bit of a god, but he ain’t ... ‘Cos I’ve seen him coming for years.
“He thought that I was going to be down and out, and then he’d turn round and say: “Sorry about this, lads, but I’m going to have to put my wicked solo career on hold because I need to help my brother out.”
“But I ain’t f****** poor. I’m still standing.”
Gallagher, who last week dropped his debut solo single Wall Of Glass, said: “No. It ain’t happening, mate. When I think about it, being in a band with him bores the death out of me.
“He’s changed, as a person. He’s not someone I want to be in a band with. He’s part of the establishment.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
