Noel Gallagher was out in public last night (October 28th) – at the London premiere of Bradley Cooper’s new film Burnt – which naturally resulted in one or several hundred microphones being shoved in his face asking about an Oasis reunion.
The band, which split amidst flying plums and broken guitars in a Paris dressing room back in the summer of 2009, nevertheless remains one of the bookies’ favourites to headline the 2016 Glastonbury festival, as it has done for several years running now despite the elder Gallagher brother’s constant denials.
In this latest rebuttal however, Gallagher has strayed away from commenting on his now seemingly non-existent relationship with brother and former Oasis frontman Liam, and instead said simply the band won’t return for a third Glastonbury headline as the event doesn’t pay enough for them to begin to entertain the idea.
“I don’t know where the rumours keep coming from about Glastonbury,” he told Daily Star Online. “Would we ever do it? They don’t have enough money I’m afraid.”
“That’s the bottom line, they just don’t pay enough.”
Oasis topped Glastonbury in 1995 and 2004. Since their split Noel Gallagher has enjoyed increasing success with his solo vehicle Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and picked up the Q Award for Best Album thanks to ‘Chasing Yesterday‘ earlier this month.
