Liam Gallagher changes lyrics in apparent dig at Noel Gallagher and Bono

Liam Gallagher has called on his estranged brother Noel to reunite Oasis once the coronavirus pandemic is over.

Recognising the public’s collective anxiety in a time of crisis, Gallagher tweeted that he wanted to finally put aside his and Noel’s shared grievances.

“Listen seriously a lot of people think I’m a c*** and I am a good looking c***,” Gallagher wrote. “But once this is put to bed we need to get Oasis back for one hell of [a] gig right!

“For charity c’mon Noel we can then go back to our amazing solo careers c’mon.”

Thinking further, Gallagher suggested that the hypothetical concert involve a number of other “miserable f***ing c***s who think [they’re] too cool for school” from rock band history, too.

“The Jam – c’mon Weller. The Smiths – c’mon Marr. Oasis – c’mon Noel.”

He then added a surprise potential guest: “Oh, and the Cheeky Girls – what a f***ing line up.”

An hour later, however, and with no response from his brother, Gallagher added: “What we saying we having it or what c’mon you know”.

Oasis co-founder and rhythm guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs at least seemed up for it, replying: “I am.”

The warring brothers have expressed conflicting information about a potential Oasis reunion for years.

In February, Noel denied Liam’s claims that he had turned down £100m to reunite the band.

“To whoever might be arsed: I am not aware of any offer from anybody for any amount of money to reform the legendary Mancunian rock’n’roll group Oasis,” Noel tweeted.

He added: “I am fully aware though that someone has a single to promote so that’s maybe where the confusion lies.”
