Rock legend Alice Cooper has weighed in on the long-awaited reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher , urging the Oasis brothers to keep the peace as they embark on their first tour together in 16 years. ‘The Oasis Live ’25 Tour,which began in Cardiff on July 4, is set to wrap with two shows in São Paulo this November.
Cooper on band longevity: Keep peace, skip the stressIn an interview with The Times, Cooper reflected on what it takes to maintain a band, especially when it involves family. He noted that staying apart without completely severing ties is sometimes the healthiest path and hinted that the Gallagher brothers’ reunion would be more successful without conflict. Cooper added that watching the pair in interviews and on stage often felt tense, cautioning against letting stress derail the journey.
Liam and Noel take it “one day at a time”Despite the optimism, Oasis manager Alec McKinlay told Music Week that the tour is “very much the last time around,” with no plans for new music. However, Liam Gallagher responded to fan concerns on social media, writing: “Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID so let’s just take it 1 day at a time.”
The brothers’ cautious approach reflects the emotional complexity of their relationship, which has oscillated between camaraderie and conflict since Oasis’s split in 2009.
Reunion highlights: handshakes, dedications, and Gallagher HillThe tour has already delivered emotional moments, including the brothers walking on stage hand-in-hand in Cardiff and embracing at Heaton Park. Liam dedicated ‘Bring It On Down’ to fans gathered outside the venue on ‘Gallagher Hill,’ defying local restrictions that fenced off the area to protect livestock and newly planted trees.
