Alex James has told Radio X that he won't be going to see Oasis play live next year... but has added that he hopes the band will take inspiration from Blur's own reunion dates from 2023.

Asked by Chris Moyles on Radio X this morning (4th December) if he had Oasis tickets, the bassist replied: “I am not sure that I will be going."

He added: "Look, it was very good manners that they waited until we got all our junk out the way."

Alex was referring to the Blur reunion shows of 2023 that saw the musician reunite with his colleagues Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon and Dave Rowntree to play two nights at Wembley Stadium and release a new album, The Ballad Of Darren.

“Do you think you inspired Oasis?” asked Chris.

"Well, I’m always reading terrible statistics about marriages ending in divorce," replied Alex. "The statistics for bands ending it and everyone hating each other – it’s hard to think of a band that doesn’t."

He went on: "And they’re brothers as well, you know? I genuinely am delighted, and genuinely won’t be going.”

Oasis will play the first of their Live '25 shows in Cardiff on 4th July next year, which will see them perform in Manchester, London Edinburgh, Dublin, North America, South America, Australia, Japan and South Korea.

The Chris Moyles Show returns weekdays from 6:30am – 10am and on Global Player.
