Britpop fans are rejoicing as Oasis are reuniting for their first tour in 16 years and will play shows in London, Manchester, Dublin, Cardiff and Edinburgh in 2025.

It was back in 1991 that Oasis formed under the name of Rain, the then line-up included singer Chris Hutton, bassist Paul McGuigan, guitarist Paul Arthurs and drummer Tony McCarroll. The band became Oasis when Liam Gallagher replaced Chris Hutton, Liam’s brother Noel offered to be the band’s songwriter after the band played their first gig at the Boardwalk Club back in Manchester in August 1991. 

When it comes to Liam and Noel Gallagher’s personal lives, it would seem that their exes have dominated the headlines as much or if not more so than their music and brotherly squabbles. Liam’s first wife was actress Patsy Kensit, who was the frontwoman of 1980s pop group Eighth Wonder and she went on to star in Holby City and EastEnders.

Liam proposed to Debbie while on holiday on the Amalfi coast in 2019 and he told The Mirror that “She was a breath of fresh air, man. She sorted me right out. Me and her like to do the same things, like having a drink. We like having a laugh. I’ve met my match, I’ve met my soulmate. It’s good because the kids love her, the lads love her."

Liam Gallagher and Debbie were due to get married on Lake Como but they had to postpone their nuptials as Liam was recovering from surgery.

According to The Mirror, “The musician is reportedly in a relationship with Sally Mash, who's said to be around five years his junior.
