Noel Gallagher has shared that there will be a reissue of Oasis\u2019 \u2018Definitely Maybe\u2019 album coming in 2024, though confirmed there will not be a reunion tour taking place any time soon.
The upcoming reissue of the band\u2019s debut LP is set for release next year and will mark 30 years since it was first shared. It also arrives following ongoing rumours that the band will reunite for a tour celebrating the occasion.
In a new interview, former guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Noel Gallagher has elaborated on what the upcoming release will feature, and put any hopes for an upcoming reunion to rest.
According to the musician, the 30th anniversary reissue of \u2018Definitely Maybe\u2019 will include a host of previously lost songs \u2014 which were made during the recording sessions at the time. Telling Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera how the tracks were uncovered, he said: \u201cIn the Sony archives we\u2019ve found tapes dating to those sessions.\u201d
\u201cWe thought they were lost, but they were mislabelled,\u201d he added. \u201cThey are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.\u201d
He explained that the new tracks added to the re-release will include acoustic versions of fan-favourites, \u2018Live Forever\u2019, \u2018Slide Away\u2019 and \u2018Supersonic\u2019. He also reaffirmed that fans shouldn\u2019t hope to see any live renditions of the new songs anytime soon. \u201cThere won\u2019t be a tour,\u201d he said. \u201cWe won\u2019t come back to play them together.\u201d
Elsewhere in the discussion, Gallagher recalled the moment when he showed \u2018Live Forever\u2019 to his bandmate, Bonehead, and realised it was going to be a hit. \u201cWe were nobody. I was in a flat in Manchester on a Tuesday afternoon. I took it to rehearsal and Bonehead said, \u2018You didn\u2019t write that.\u2019
\u201cI knew it\u2019d be a classic.\u201d Rumours regarding a potential Oasis reunion have remained constant over recent years, with both Noel and Liam Gallagher taking an on-again-off-again approach to the idea. Three years ago in a cover interview with NME, Liam claimed that an Oasis reunion was \u201cgonna happen very soon\u201d. Elsewhere, in January, Noel also explained that he would be open to the concept, and will \u201cnever say never\u201d to a reunion. More recently, however, the prospect of the tour becoming a reality seems to have wilted, after Liam Gallagher said his brother has \u201cdone a lot of damage to Oasis as a brand\u201d. The comments were provoked following an interview Noel did with France Inter, where he claimed that Liam suggests that he is willing to reform, but would never reach out to make the reunion into a reality. Since Oasis\u2019 split in 2009, Noel Gallagher has released three LPs as part of his High Flying Birds project, and has another set for release later this year. Set to debut on June 2 via Sour Mash, \u2018Council Skies\u2019 will be the band\u2019s fourth full-length release. So far, four tracks have been shared ahead of its release: \u2018Easy Now\u2019, \u2018Dead To The World\u2019, \u2018Pretty Boy\u2019 and \u2018Council Skies\u2019.
Noel Gallagher and co are also set to embark on a UK arena tour later this summer, featuring dates in Hull, London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Glasgow. The last date will be held at Liverpool\u2019s M&S Bank Arena on December 21. High Flying Birds have also been announced as headliners for Sheffield\u2019s Rock N Roll Circus 2023.
Taking place at Don Valley Bowl on September 1, the show will mark their second time appearing at the event. They will be joined by Happy Mondays, The Cribs, The Joy Formidable and Somebody\u2019s Child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
