Liam Gallagher is opening up about his feud with brother and former Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher.
In a new interview with Billboard, Liam — who recently released his second solo project, Why Me? Why Not. — explained why he believes Oasis hasn’t reunited in the 10 years since Noel left the band in 2009.
During those years, the brothers have not been shy about trading public barbs on the internet, including Liam’s numerous references to his brother as a “potato.”
“The people that Noel is surrounded by want to keep us apart,” he claimed to Billboard. “I’ve got no more olive branches to give. I’ve done my bit. Everyone goes, ‘If you stop calling him a potato then he might get the band back together.’ The geezer don’t want the band back together because he likes to be the main man.”
“He’s better off in that world,” Liam, 47, continued. “If the f—ing music he’s writing now was going to be any part of Oasis, I’d f—ing blow my brains out. We’re probably better off apart.”
When asked if an Oasis reunion is now “further away than ever,” Liam responded, “Without a doubt.”
“I’ve done stupid things in the past on the internet, tweeting s—, but that’s life,” he continued. “He’s done a few s—ty things as well.”
“But I think it was over before that anyway,” the musician added. “You don’t split Oasis up lightly. I think he wanted to do a solo career and he wanted to write his f—ing little disco music for all his little disco mates and they knew that wouldn’t fly with me. It’s nothing to do with me calling him a potato.”
Liam also told the magazine that he’s currently “the happiest I’ve ever been.”
“My kids are all healthy. I have a relationship with my daughter for the first time. Debbie is blowing my mind, so all is good in the world,” he said. “I’ve got two lovely cats. My mam is still alive. And I’m not surrounded by d—heads for the first time in my life.”
