Oasis, known for their chart-topping 1995 song “Hello,” borrowed lyrics from Gary Glitter’s 1973 hit “Hello, Hello, I’m Back Again.” However, following Glitter’s criminal convictions related to child abuse and pornography, there were rumours circulating that Oasis might choose to exclude the song from their tour setlist. Despite these speculations, Liam Gallagher took to social media to set the record straight and assure fans that “Hello” will be a part of their reunion tour.
Gary Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, faced legal troubles that led to his imprisonment on charges including child sexual abuse and downloading child pornography. Despite his convictions, Glitter continues to receive royalties from Oasis for his contribution to “Hello.” The controversial inclusion of Glitter’s lyrics in their song has sparked debates among fans and critics alike.
The Oasis Live ’25 Tour marks a significant milestone for the band as they prepare to perform together for the first time since their split in 2009. The reunion tour, initially announced for the UK and Ireland, quickly expanded to include additional dates in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania due to overwhelming demand from fans. Both Liam and Noel Gallagher, the core members of Oasis, have expressed their surprise at the massive reception to their reunion.
In a recent interview, Noel Gallagher reflected on the significance of reuniting with Oasis and the unexpected scale of the fanfare surrounding their tour. The Gallagher brothers, known for their tumultuous relationship, put aside their differences to bring Oasis back to the stage for a series of eagerly awaited performances. Fans of the iconic Britpop band have eagerly awaited this reunion, with tickets selling out rapidly across all tour dates.
