It’s business. That’s all it is. And a handful of men will get even richer when Oasis take to the stage for their much-vaunted reunion.

And why shouldn’t they? The myth and mystery has grown since they split in 2009. Noel Gallagher previously turned down £10 million to tour, or so reports claim. But then, he hadn’t just lost £20 million in a divorce, at that point. And no matter how wealthy you might be and how much you earn from song-writing royalties, the money that an Oasis reunion will generate is not to be sniffed at.

The more nuanced question is this – to paraphrase a lyric from Cigarettes and Alcohol: Is it worth the aggravation?

The answer to that, almost certainly, is yes. Because there’s never going to be a better time for Noel and Liam to reunite than right now.
