Noel Gallagher has said he doesn’t think that Oasis should reunite because the band’s legacy is already “set in stone”.
In a recent interview with The Project, Gallagher was asked whether a reunion was on the cards off the back of the release of a documentary marking 25 years since the band’s iconic Knebworth gig.
“The legacy of the band is set in stone… if people have seen us, they’ll understand what all the fuss is about,” he said.
“If you didn’t see us, then that’s tough because I’ve never seen The Beatles or the Sex Pistols.”
He continued: “People ask me that question on a daily basis and I can only say to you that, I just don’t feel like it. When you’re in a band, it’s an absolute compromise so no I don’t think I could come up with an idea and then run it by four people and then six weeks later, somebody knocks it back because their cat’s got a cough so I like to march to the beat of my own drum. Oasis is done I’m afraid.”
Gallagher continued on to reveal that he doesn’t understand the “fascination” the public has in his relationship with brother Liam, saying: “It’s not ever me that starts the conversation. Other people are fascinated by it, which is fascinating to me. But other than that I don’t really have a great deal to say about it.”
Unsurprisingly, the brothers have different takes on the likelihood of a reunion, with Liam telling NME last year that it would probably “happen soon”.

“Believe you me – it’s gonna happen very fucking soon because [Noel’s] greedy and he loves money and he knows that it’s got to happen soon or it won’t happen,” he said.
