And what about Guigsy?
Original bass player Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan, pictured below, right, has been absent from the music industry since he left Oasis in 1999, while his successor, Andy Bell, now plays with Oasis’ former label mates Ride, and looks unlikely to join any potential reunion tour.
The Gallagher brothers long had an acrimonious relationship, and reportedly did not speak for years after Noel quit the band following an argument before they were due to go on stage at Rock En Seine festival near Paris in August 2009.
However, if the whispers are to be believed, hostilities have softened. Liam hinted at a possible reconciliation as far back as 2017, when he tweeted on Christmas Day: “I wanna say Happy Xmas to team NG it’s been a great year thanks for everything looking forward to seeing you tomorrow AS YOU WERE LG x”
Will Bonehead be there now?
With Oasis’ lineup evolving throughout the years, many fans are starting to speculate about exactly who could be involved in a possible reunion aside from the Gallagher brothers.
The dream for many would be the lineup as it stood at the height of Oasis mania in 1995. Original guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, below, has been a mainstay of Liam Gallagher’s solo outfit for several years, his successor Gem Archer has served as guitar player in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds since 2017, alongside latter day Oasis drummer Chris Sharrock, formerly of The Icicle Works, The La’s, and one-time sticksman for Robbie Williams.
Oasis for Glastonbury?
There is also speculation that the band may headline next year’s Glastonbury festival – their last headline slot in 2004 is regarded as one of the worst gigs in the band’s career.
