Noel Gallagher teases an Oasis reunion by saying that ‘it’s always a possibility’

Does Noel have a new album to promote or something?

Does Noel Gallagher have a new album to promote or something?

Noel Gallagher used to be in a band called Oasis, and the world’s media have been falling over themselves to discover when he and Liam would patch things up and get back together since the band split in 2009. Pretty much.

Speaking with Q Magazine, Noel said that no one has them to get back together just yet, but that he wouldn’t be opposed to the idea if the conditions were right.

Noel said: “Nobody has made us an offer. I’ve been in the same room as Liam, and even then nobody’s said, ‘Weren’t Oasis great? You should re-form. But if I was ever going to do it, it would only be for the money. This isn’t me putting it out there, by the way.”

Quite frankly we’re delighted to hear that Noel and Liam can be in the same room without punching the heads of each other.

The guitarist added,”Would I do it for charity? No way. We’re not that kind of people. For Glastonbury? I don’t think Michael Eavis has got enough money. But would we get back together one day? As long as everybody is still alive and still has their hair, it’s always a possibility. But only for the money.”

In typical Noel fashion he couldn’t resist having a slight pop at those people who’re putting pressure on Oasis to reform by saying, “Led Zeppelin! The Smiths! The Jam! They should all re-form! Why? So a load of middle-aged people can stand in the O2 and go, ‘They’re not as good as they used to be’.

“It’d be the same with Oasis. ‘Yeah, we’re not as good as we used to be.’”
