The Enemy frontman Tom Clarke has finally put the supposed “feud” between he and Brit-rock elites Oasis to bed in an interview with XFM’s Steve Harris.
After interpreting a comment from Clarke as saying that the Mancunians were “past it”, Liam was quick to return fire on May 19th via his Twitter account. The misunderstanding prompted the question “Do you want to go on 1st or what you little fucker?” regarding The Enemy’s support slot for Oasis’ UK stadium tour.
On May 20th, however, Clarke was only too eager to subdue the storm, labelling the interpretation as “complete and utter bollocks” and offered a reminder that Oasis are one of his “favourite bands ever”.
Despite this, further panic arose when Clarke withdrew his band from the power-cut plagued Heaton Park show on June 4th due to food poisoning. But there was no time for tears as the Coventry-born singer recovered for the follow up gig on the Saturday and “Liam came up straight away” and swept the misunderstandings under the carpet.
Speaking of the tour itself, Clarke referred to it as the “best tour we’ve ever been on” after previously saying that it was “an absolute honour for them to invite us onto their tour”.
On the subject of the tour lineup itself, consisting of Oasis, Kasabian, The Enemy and Twisted Wheel, Clarke didn’t spare a moment before resolving that it is “probably the best bill that’s ever existed”. Although he did concede that his view of Oasis’ headline slot from the side of the stage was sub-standard compared to the fans perspective. “You’ve got to be out there, steaming, singing the songs.”
