Noel Gallagher says that Oasis musical ‘is inevitable’
The Gallagher brothers may still not be speaking, a decade may have passed since Oasis’s fiery demise, and yet Noel is convinced that a musical inspired by the band's music is on the cards.
“The musical! People have been on to me about that for the last 10 years,” Gallagher told The Sun. “Funnily enough Live Forever is always the title.”
Gallagher added that he has spoken to an “English guy who works on Broadway who knows about these things.”
That conversation, Gallagher explained, involved the man describing potential plot line as “Your journey from rags to riches’.
“And I was like, ‘Do you have to make it so Dickensian? I never wore any rags’.”
Gallagher is certainly aware of the popularity of Oasis’s songs on stage: “People do love that s---, I know. It’s inevitable it will happen one day. I will go and see it once.”
While the relationship between the guitarist and his frontman brother Liam has never seemed more acrimonious (the lifelong bickering between the two has recently developed into public threatening between their wives and children), bookmakers nevertheless predict a reunion.
Coral cut the odds on Oasis reforming with both brothers by the end of the 2020 into 6-4 (from 3-1) after taking a flurry of bets last night. Coral is offering odds of 4-1 that they will play at Glastonbury in 2020 and 6-1 for the band to release a new single by the end of next year.
"It has been 25 years since Definitely Maybe was released and many punters feel as though the long awaited return of Oasis is not far away as they have been rushing in to back the Gallagher brothers to get back together soon," said Coral's John Hill.
"We are offering odds on Oasis performing at Glastonbury next year and to produce a new music which would certainly be successful in the charts," added Hill.
