Liam Gallagher hits back in row over Oasis reunion tour support acts as fan brands his ‘nepo-baby’ son ‘s***’
LIAM Gallagher has clapped back at fans who complained about his “nepo baby” son being part of the Oasis reunion tour.
His rocker kid Gene will support his dad’s famous band – after he played a major role in healing the rift between his dad and uncle.
The Villanelle band member – who is his father’s lookalike – is set to hit the stage during the domestic leg of the band’s epic comeback in 2025.
Villanelle will be one of ten warm-up acts – with Oasis confirming this week that Richard Ashcroft will join them on tour.
It didn’t go down well with some, as one fan cheekily wrote: “They should call themselves the Nepotists.”
Another sarcastically said: “Why wouldn’t he support his dad. What else is there for nepos to do?”
Someone else added: “10 warm up acts? Nothing worse at a gig than have to wait & wait being forced to listen to bands you’re not interested in or know any songs of. All you want is the main act you’ve paid to see.”
Hitting back at online backlash, Liam wrote on X: “To all the folk who are crying about us not showing love to the young bands and not letting them support there’s LEVELS to this game and I’m afraid 99 p cent of ya are way off LFUCKING x.”
The brothers will reunite to play Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin’s Croke Park throughout July and August next year.
Singer Richard, who wrote 1997 hit Bitter Sweet Symphony, said in a statement: “As a fan from day one, I was buzzing for many reasons when the news of Oasis‘s return was announced.
“I can say with no exaggeration that the song-writing talent of Noel, and Liam’s pure spirit as a lead singer helped to inspire me to create some of my best work.
“It was the perfection of Live Forever that forced me to try and write my own.
“They dared to be great, made the dreams we had real and I will always remember those days with joy.
“Now it’s time to create more memories and I’m ready to bring it.
“See you next summer. Music is power.”
