Liam Gallagher hits out at Andy Bell comments on Oasis reunion

The former Oasis frontman has responded to his former bandmates comments about getting the band back together.

Liam Gallagher has responded to former bandmate Andy Bell's comments about an Oasis reunion.

The Ride co-founder - who played guitar in Oasis from 1999 - 2005 and was in Gallagher's next project, Beady Eye until its dissolution in 2014 - recently gave an interview, where he said he thought the Britpop band would "probably" reunite "at some point".

However, taking to Twitter, Gallagher has hit back, suggesting he shouldn't be getting fans "hopes up".

He wrote: "Andy bell from ride the shoe gazing phenomenon should really not be getting people’s hopes up it’s not big and and it’s not clever LG x".

When a fan pointed out that the guitarist was simply saying what Liam has himself done many times, he responded: "I’ve never mentioned oasis reunion it’s over we must all really move in for our own mental health".

Gallagher is either being tongue-in-cheek or has a very short memory, as he's never shied away from talking about getting the Manchester band back together in the past.

His last word on the topic, however, does seem to fall in line with his tweets, as when asked on the Jonathan Ross Show about a reunion, he claimed he was "all good".

When the presenter said he read that Liam had begun speaking to his brother Noel, he said: "I haven't spoken to him. I haven't spoken to him for about 10 years," he added, correcting himself: "Since 2009 I think."

When Ross opined that people might feel the estranged brothers are missing out, Liam added: "Nah. I'm having a great time. Don't worry about it. I'm all good man."

When pressing him on the possibility of a reunion once more, asking "So that's not happening?" Liam joked: "Not this week, no."

It's not the first time the Manchester rocker has taken to Twitter to set the record straight this month.

Last week, the Just Another Rainbow singer hit out at accusations of nepotism against him- after he lined up his youngest son Gene's band as the opening act for his Definitely Maybe dates.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "I’ve given many opportunities to many young bands over the years it’s what you do if you can now it’s VILLANELLES turn if you don’t like it F**KOFF LG x"

When a fan asked about his eldest son's band, Automotion, Gallagher revealed that Lennon - who he shares with ex wife Patsy Kensit - "politely refused".
