August 28th 2024.
After years of anticipation, the iconic British rock band Oasis has finally confirmed their long-awaited reunion. Original guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs will be rejoining brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher on stage for a highly-anticipated series of comeback shows. This news has sparked excitement and frenzy among fans, with tickets for the 14 UK and Ireland dates predicted to sell out within minutes.
Bonehead, who was an integral part of Oasis during their early years, played a crucial role in their hit debut album Definitely Maybe and the follow-up Morning Glory?. Although he left the band in 1999, he has maintained a close relationship with Liam and even joined him on stage for the Definitely Maybe anniversary solo tour this past summer.
According to a source close to the band, Bonehead's involvement was crucial to the reunion. "They both wanted him in the fold, and he was one of the drivers of the reunion," the source revealed. "Noel has also brought in some of his band members. The Oasis family has really come back together. Bonehead is ecstatic."
The reunion tour, which marks the first time the band will perform together in 15 years, is expected to be one of the most significant music events of the decade. The confirmed stops include cities like Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester, London, and Dublin, with additional dates possibly being added due to the overwhelming demand.
The band made their official statement on August 27, stating dramatically: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."
Speculation about an Oasis reunion has been circulating for years, but it reached a fever pitch in recent weeks. Fans were hopeful after Liam Gallagher dedicated the song Half The World Away to his brother Noel during his performance at the Reading Festival on August 25th. Towards the end of his set, a mysterious date – 27.08.24 – flashed on a screen behind him, which also appeared on both Liam and Noel's social media accounts, adding to the intrigue.
Earlier on the same day, Liam dropped another cryptic hint on social media, posting, "I never did like that word FORMER." These teasers led to the official announcement on August 27, confirming what fans had been hoping for for years.
Despite their infamous feud, the Gallagher brothers have evidently put their differences aside for this reunion. Oasis's split in 2009 was just as dramatic as their rise to fame, with Noel famously stating, "I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer." Since then, both brothers have pursued successful solo careers, but the shadow of Oasis has always loomed large.
While the upcoming tour is already set to be a landmark event, there is also speculation that it could lead to new music from Oasis. With Bonehead and members of Noel's band, High Flying Birds, joining the lineup, the potential for new creative collaborations is high. For now, fans can look forward to what promises to be an unforgettable series of concerts.
