Liam Gallagher’s son Gene has ‘feeling’ his father wants to see Oasis reunion
The Britpop band split in 2009.
Liam Gallagher’s son Gene has said he gets “the feeling” his father would like to see an Oasis reunion.
Brothers Liam and Noel were a part of the Britpop group, formed in the 1990s, but the band split in 2009, prompted by a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
The pair have been embroiled in a feud ever since and for years the pair have batted away, and sometimes welcomed, suggestions of a reunion.
Speaking to The Sunday Times about whether the band could reform, Gene said: “Nothing to do with me.
“I mean, will they? I don’t know. I would love it but it’s so beyond my control.”
Asked if he has been sworn to silence, he said: “No, no. I get the feeling my dad wants it too. Let’s hope it happens.”
Gene is a part of the band Villanelle who have been a support act for Liam’s Definitely Maybe 30th anniversary tour shows.
Speaking about whether he gets heckled for being a nepo baby, he said: “People say to me: ‘Ooh it must be so easy for you to get a band together.’ It’s not.
“We’re earning our stripes.”
Gene also spoke about his friendship with his cousin Anais, the daughter of Noel.
Asked if they ever talk about Oasis reforming, he said: “No, we have jokes about it but we don’t go at it.
“She knows what her dad’s like and I know what my dad’s like. Hey, we’re a big happy family everyone.
“It’s nothing to do with us.”
Asked if they could do an intervention, he added: “They’re both (Liam and Noel) way too smart for that, it would never work.”
In 2020, amid the coronavirus pandemic, Liam set out a “demand” for the band to reform with “all money going to the NHS”, but the reunion did not come to fruition.
In July he performed hits from the band’s debut album in front of fans at Trnsmt and will take to the stage at Reading and Leeds festivals later in this month.
