Recently, Andy Bell, former bassist of Britpop band Oasis, made comments about a possible reunion of the band that Liam Gallagher responded to. Bell mentioned during an interview that the band would “probably” get back together at some point, citing the example of The Stone Roses past reunion that happened “completely against the way things were looking.” Gallagher took to Twitter to criticize Bell’s comments, stating that he “should really not be getting people’s hopes up it’s not big and it’s not clever.”
Oasis celebrated the 30th anniversary of their classic debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ last year, but Noel Gallagher had ruled out a reunion to mark the milestone.

Former Oasis guitarist Bonehead has said that he would like a comeback to go ahead because of what it would mean to the “younger fans” of the band.
Liam Gallagher has released a collaborative album with John Squire in March, with the duo having recently wrapped up a UK, Ireland and European tour. They’ll play a show in Brooklyn, New York on Thursday (April 11). In January, Ride, Andy Bell’s current band, talked to NME about their new album ‘Interplay.’
Bell has also recalled how he ended up joining Oasis, mentioning that he was in a new band called Hurricane and had broken up. There was a story in the papers saying that his band had broken up, and Oasis realized that he was still around, and he eventually joined the band
