Liam Gallagher has addressed claims he is only taking part in the Oasis reunion tour “for the money”.
Liam, 52, and his brother Noel, 57, will perform together for the first time in more than 15 years during their Live ‘25 world tour, which kicks off in Cardiff in July.
The Wonderwall rockers will play multiple stadiums around the UK, before going global with shows in Japan, Argentina, the United States and Brazil.
The brothers are reportedly set to make £3 million a piece for each of the gigs in their tour.
On Monday, Liam hit out at claims he is only taking part in the tour for the reported huge pay check he will receive, insisting the financial benefits are “way down the list”.
A fan shared a photo of him walking his dog Buttons while wearing a khaki anorak in London in April on X, writing: “That beautiful dog deserves to be walked by a millionaire that doesn't look like a bin man.”
Liam replied: “Multi millionaire let’s have it right K***HEAD.”
Another user hit back “Wouldn’t say you looked like a bin man though”, to which Liam posted: “Yeah I’m not bothered about that bit it’s millionaire thing.”
This prompted another follower to retort: “You’re proving the ‘Oasis 25 is just for money!’ People right.”
Liam responded: “It’s for many reasons, money way down the list.”
The Gallagher brothers have 41 dates booked for their 2025 tour and will be joined onstage by acts such as The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft, Cast, Cage The Elephant and Ball Park Music.
The tour will mark the first time the siblings have played together since Oasis split in 2009 following a backstage row at the Rock en Seine festival in France.
Noel quit the group on August 28, 2009, saying he “simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer”.
The brothers will reportedly earn an extra £20 million from the tour after landing a huge merchandising deal.
They have also secured a multi-million pound agreement with Warner for the rights of their image to be used on a wide range of merchandise that fans can buy at concerts, according to The Sun.
The duo are believed to have taken legal protections to stop counterfeit sellers trying to flog unofficial merchandise such as clothing, books and even paintbrushes.
Last week, it was claimed Oasis fans will collectively spend more than £1 billion attending the band’s highly-anticipated reunion concerts in the UK.
