The Oasis singer says that he prefers the idea of starting a new band under a new name, rather than simply replacing a guitarist with Oasis.
The news leaves fans with no hope of a reconciliation between the Gallagher brothers, or the return of Noel to Oasis. Although Liam and Noel have had a turbulent relationship for years, they were still able to create a multitude of hits over the span of nearly 20 years.
Liam Gallagher, and the remaining Oasis members, guitarist Gem Archer, bass player Andy Bell and drummer Chris Sharrock, have been working on new material. In an interview with an Italian radio station, Liam promised fans that they’d soon be back on stage, but with a new name. “I’ll be back doing that, playing live, within a couple of months,” Liam said. “I’ve just done a tour, I always miss singing songs. I miss the people.”
Noel Gallagher has remained unusually quiet since the split, and has not spoken about his future plans.
