Liam Gallagher Under Fire After Controversial Comments During Tour
In a moment that’s sent shockwaves through the music world, Liam Gallagher has come under intense criticism following controversial remarks made during an Oasis reunion tour stop in Berlin on Wednesday night.
While addressing the crowd between songs, Liam reportedly made offhanded comments about rival bands and a few unnamed pop artists that many fans and media outlets have labeled “disrespectful” and “outdated.” Several fans took to social media, saying the remarks were “unnecessary” and “completely off-brand” for what was meant to be a celebratory and nostalgic comeback tour.
Footage from the show has since gone viral, showing Liam sarcastically mocking auto-tuned vocals and seemingly taking a jab at younger artists trying to “copy the Oasis sound without the spirit.” Although Gallagher has built his legacy on outspoken, unfiltered commentary, many believe he crossed a line this time, especially given the diversity and generational mix of today’s music audience.
Critics and fellow musicians have weighed in, with some defending Liam’s right to free speech, while others argue it’s time the rock icon evolved past his infamous “90s bravado.” A few UK-based radio stations are reportedly reviewing his comments and reconsidering planned Oasis special features.
Liam responded early Friday morning with a typical Gallagher tweet:
> “If you’re offended, go listen to Ed Sheeran and have a herbal tea. LG x”
So far, neither Noel Gallagher nor the Oasis management team has issued a formal statement, but sources say the internal camp is “split” over how to handle the fallout.
Despite the controversy, ticket sales for the next leg of the tour remain strong—but some fans are now wondering if more drama could threaten what was supposed to be a long-awaited, feel-good reunion.
