Overview

  • Oasis has dropped 'Hello,' the opening track of their 1995 album '(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?,' from their reunion tour setlist.
  • The song includes lyrics and a melody sampled from Gary Glitter’s 1973 track 'Hello, Hello, I’m Back Again,' leading to co-writing credits for Glitter and Mike Leander.
  • The decision reflects concerns over Glitter’s criminal legacy, including his 2015 conviction for child sexual abuse and ongoing parole denials.
  • The Live '25 Tour, set to begin July 4 in Cardiff, marks the first collaboration between Noel and Liam Gallagher since their 2009 split.
  • Despite their reunion, the brothers will maintain separate backstage arrangements during the 17-show tour spanning the UK and international venues.
