Oasis Reunites: Peggy Gallagher Remains Unfazed
After a 15-year hiatus, rock icons Oasis announced their theatrical return to the stage, sending shockwaves through the music world and igniting a frenzy of excitement among their devoted fans. While many celebrated the news, a certain someone in the Gallagher family met the announcement with characteristic stoicism.
Noel Gallagher, the band’s renowned guitarist and songwriter, recently revealed his mother Peggy’s somewhat subdued reaction to the reunion. During an event held at London’s prestigious National Portrait Gallery, Noel quipped about his mother’s lackluster response, allegedly telling the audience, "My mum couldn’t give a s. My mum never gave a s, never."
He continued, "You know what Irish mums are like?" With a hint of amusement, he shared, "When we told her we were getting back together, she said, ‘Sure, that will be nice’. That was it."
Despite her apparent indifference, Noel, now 57, expressed hope that Peggy might grace one of Oasis’ upcoming stadium gigs. He specifically mentioned their planned concerts at Dublin’s Croke Park as a possible destination.
The Oasis reunion tour promises a monumental musical experience, with confirmed performances in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and a series of international dates. Although speculation swirled around a potential Glastonbury Festival appearance, the band has officially put those rumors to rest.
The news of the reunion coincided with the 30th anniversary of Oasis’ groundbreaking debut album, Definitely Maybe, fueling nostalgia and anticipation among their faithful fan base. The announcement also marked a significant turning point for the Gallagher brothers, notorious for their tumultuous relationship that ultimately led to the band’s acrimonious split in 2009.
Following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, the legendary Britpop group went their separate ways. Adding to the intrigue of their reunion, the band has yet to confirm which former members will join them onstage, although they announced the iconic Richard Ashcroft, frontman of The Verve, as a supporting act for the tour.
The Gallagher brothers, both individually successful in their own right, have finally laid down their arms – at least musically. With their reunion, they’re offering fans a chance to relive the glory days of Britpop and experience a legendary band at the top of their game once again. And while Peggy Gallagher may not be jumping for joy just yet, the anticipation surrounding this musical comeback is undeniable.
