Liam Gallagher Shares Update on New Oasis Album: ‘F-ck Me It Was a Laugh’
Unsurprisingly, the musician’s quip on social media that the just-reunited band had already finished a record was a bit

Shocking absolutely no one, Liam Gallagher admitted he was just having a laugh when he casually tossed out that Oasis, on top of their 2025 reunion, had also finished a new album.
Gallagher dropped the original crumb of misinformation on X, formerly Twitter, back in September, responding to an extremely eager tweet, “is it true that oasis will have a new album???” with the conspicuously casual, “Yep it’s already finished.” Gallagher kept the bit going in response to another fan who said it felt like an “albums in the air,” saying, “It’s in the bag mate fuck the air.”
As it turned out, the first Oasis album since 2008’s Dig Out Your Soul, was neither finished, nor in the bag, let alone in the air at all. Gallagher brought expectations crashing back to reality over the weekend, after an Oasis updates account tweeted a supposed “exclusive” report about how Liam and Noel Gallagher were “working intently on the new OASIS album.”
“Let’s just calm the fuck down,” Gallagher quipped in return. “There is no Oasis album in the making I was fucking joking remember them and the reason being because everyone is a little uptight these days I’m sorry if I have upset anyone but fuck me it was a laugh.”
While Liam’s original joke tweets were the main fuel for the new Oasis album rumor, it wasn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility to think some new music might be created. Back in 2023, Noel Gallgher told Rolling Stone he’d written 40 songs during Covid lockdown, including a project he described as a “very heavily guitar-based stadium rock album” — exactly the kind of thing you’d think Oasis might cook up on the off chance they did want to get back into the studio. Perhaps if the Gallagher brothers survive next year’s tour, they’ll be inclined to give it a go.
Either way, Liam’s latest disclosure keeps up his increasingly impressive feat of building up hype for the Oasis reunion by being — as only he can — at once incredibly haughty and an enormous hater (including towards his own fans). Just last week, unprompted, he tweeted about how someone had the gall to ask him if Oasis were going to be as good as they once were when they take the stage next year.
Gallagher claimed to have replied: “I said listen here you CUNT even on our bad day we’ll still wipe the floor with majority of bands out there.”
