Liam Gallagher has stated that he and Noel do not intend to do any press around the Oasis reunion.
It comes after the two brothers – who formed Oasis together in the early ‘90s and split in 2009 following tensions – announced in August that they were putting their differences aside for a reunion tour.
The Wonderwall hit-makers are set to perform a number of gigs in the UK, Ireland, Australia, the US and Mexico.
While many fans are keen to hear more from them about the reunion, plus, the potential of new music, Liam has ruled out doing any press conferences or interviews as they are “scared” of being asked personal questions and of the media potentially trying to pick apart their relationship.
The Britpop star took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter on Thursday to make his feelings clear when asked about the subject by fans.
I think Noel doesn't want to do interviews with you because you're funnier

Liam first responded to one person who wrote: “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.”
Liam then penned “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.”
Tackling another fan who questioned him about the potential of a joint interview with Noel, admitted that part of the reason was also because he “can’t be arsed”.
“Still waiting for that press conference” put in a third person, to which Liam swiftly hit back: “They ain’t getting one”.

It follows “unprecedented” demand to see them reunite almost 15 years after their acrimonious split.
Fans felt like all their Christmases had come at once when they announced the tour for summer 2025 – until they saw the eye-watering ticket prices that is.
Before tickets went on sale, fans were told seated tickets would start from £74 while standing would be priced between £148.50 and £151. After hours of queuing on the website, Ticketmaster ignited “dynamic pricing”.This resulted in the band facing a backlash from both their fans and the music industry, who branded them “greedy”.
The Government’s competition watchdog has since launched an investigation into how Ticketmaster handled the sale of tickets, which saw their website crash due to demand.
The Competition and Market Authority (CMA) said it was responding to concerns from fans about inflated prices and the short time they were given to make decisions.
